Besides Spaghettios, there are other Franco-American creations. This week, it's a draft resolution for a ceasefire proposal. I, for one, bearing bloggeristic witness to the campaign at Tora Bora, do not have a difficult time in believing French fighting forces can do a good job. Other Conservatives, reactionarily think otherwise. I'm ignoring them for the time being, and therefore trust if an international force is placed in between Lebanon and Israel that the French will do their duty. The devil is, of course, in the details.
But that is something that the Syrian Foreign Minister seems to believe literally. There's a Jew devil in them thar details.
Syrian Foreign Minister Walid Moallem crossed into Lebanon Sunday for the first visit by a top Syrian official in more than a year, Lebanon's state news agency said.
Speaking to reporters after the meeting with his Lebanese counterpart, Fawzi Salloukh, Moallem said "Syria is ready for the possibility of a regional war if the Israeli aggression continues."
He added that a US-French draft resolution to end the war "adopted Israel's point of view only." Underlining his support for Hizbullah, Moallem said, "as Syria's foreign minister I hope to be a soldier in the resistance."
Salloukh said that "Israel cannot take in peace what it had failed to take in war."
What we've seen consistently is an elaborate calculus of apology for the bad guys that basically makes any defense of Israel sound like either a global conspiracy or an exercise of bootlicking extraordinaire. Couldn't it be that we're simply logical and not subject to the great Israeli Hypno-Toad? Recall Occam's Razor. Oh wait, they'll twist that to say we're simply incompetent...
Anyway, Syria has joined the chorus of disbelief.
Now is the moment to predict whether or not those who are lining up against Israeli ambitions are indeed 'internationalist'. Not to suggest that there is anything particularly precient about 'internationalism', but at the very least it suggests that there are more than just toadies who think Hezbollah is bad for the region and must be, at the very least, restrained and disarmed.
