First Hezbollah attacked the Sunnis, now the Druze. The Maronites are next. Iran and Syria are taking over the country. Intervention by the West looks like the only way this can be prevented.
The pro-goverment forces rout continues. It would seems Hezbollah doesn't want to take over the reins of power rather weaken the opposition. By taking over the country they loose their purpose and militarily become weak. What can the west do ? Nothing, everybody is too aware of what happened to Israel in 2006. With Iraq, Afghanistan sucking US ground forces, taking on Hezbollah on in the ground is the last thing US will and want to do.
More immediate threat is US starting an air/naval campaign against Iran in the coming months. It would be maddness but Bush is more like mad King George. The consequences of which will reverbrate through out the world. Just like in Iraq, US will start the war, but when and how it will end will be decided by others! and not to the benefit of US or west in general.
