The U.S. Ponders a Range of Ineffective Responses While Hezbollah, Syria, and Iran Advance

by John Little on 10/05/2008

Why do we seem so ill-prepared for events that are clearly inevitable?

The United States is conferring with the U.N. Security Council and others in the Middle East about possible measures against those responsible for the recent violence in Beirut, the White House said on Friday.

The White House has accused the Iranian-backed group Hezbollah of inciting the violence in the Lebanese capital and routing forces loyal to the U.S.-backed government.

Because nothing frightens the enemies of peace and freedom like a diplomatically crafted expression of concern.
