Mideast: On Target - A Time of Reckoning: Israel vs. Hizbollah

Military Analysis Of Hizbollah-Israeli Conflict at
Mideast: On Target - A Time of Reckoning: Israel vs. Hizbollah

Questions:

--Have Hizbollah's Iranian and Syrian overlords miscalculated and have events gone further than they intended?

--Does this distract the world's attention from the continuing buildup of Iran's nuclear capability, or does it bring greater focus on this threat and its ramifications?

--Does Israel next take the war closer to its source -- to Syria -- and risk a broader conflict, but also potentially take a bit of immediate pressure off of Lebanon's feckless, but anti-Syrian and somewhat pro-Western government? Note that the White House has been much more vocal than the Israeli administration in mentioning Syria as a source of this trouble .
