Or more appropriately, the situation in South Lebanon just gets worse: http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&categ_id=5&article_id=83379. How much does anyone want to bet against another Hezbollah-initiated war? The Iranian/Syrian proxy has continued to arm itsel without interruption: http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&categ_id=2&article_id=83391. The French peacekeeping troops in Lebanon are on alert now as well: http://www.lefigaro.fr/english/20070627.WWW000000503_french_troops_on_the_alert.html.
Given how Hezbollah has completely rearmed in less than a year, it goes without saying that the U.N. peacekeepers are obviously completely ineffectual. In fact, that's the best thing that could be said about them. Of course, with Hamas firmly in control of Gaza, any attack on Israel from the north would undoubtedly be accompanied by one from Hamas in the south, and don't bet against Syrian involvement either.
No matter how you look at it, the situation is looking grim......
