Why did the Prime Minister of Lebanon give his speech in English? I have been posting reason after reason. I will not repost everything that was not read. Meanwhile, why do you think Condi Rice refused to call for a ceasefire when virtually every other nation in the world demands same? Does the term 'Cheney Doctrine' sound familiar?
Same strategic objectives that promoted a "Mission Accomplished" war apply. Show me one example where the US even tried to stop this war? You cannot. In direct opposition to world demands, the US said, in diplomatic terms, "Battle on and wipe out Hezbollah". Again you would have to be daft to not see what the entire world sees. Only the naive actually believed an international peace force of sufficient size could be created.
This is not the same United States that once restricted what weapons the Israelis could use in such forays. This is not a United States that maintained world stability using containment. This is now a United States that advocates military solutions - pre-emption. This is no longer a United States that views the world as many different parties with different perspectives. We now have a government that sees everything in 'good verses evil'. Even the president says god tells him what to do.
Nobody expected the Spanish Inquisition - even though religious intolerance and 'good verses evil' mentalities made it necessary. Here we are again with a government that advocated 'final' solutions rather than negotiated ones.
The US may not have recommended it. But US permission to attack and invade Lebanon – complete with Condi Rice running interference for Israel – is obvious.
