- Hezbollah was using UN post as 'shield'
  Posted by Billbar from Canada
  The words of a Canadian United Nations observer written just days before he was killed in an Israeli bombing of a UN post in Lebanon are evidence Hezbollah was using the post as a "shield" to fire rockets into Israel, says a former UN commander in Bosnia. Those words, written in an e-mail dated just nine days ago, offer a possible explanation as to why the post -- which according to UN officials was clearly marked and known to Israeli forces -- was hit by Israel on Tuesday night, said retired Maj.-Gen. Lewis MacKenzie yesterday.

- Tide of Arab Opinion Turns to Support for Hezbollah
  Posted by Jon from New York Times
  Now, with hundreds of Lebanese dead and Hezbollah holding out against the vaunted Israeli military for 15 days, the tide of public opinion across the Arab world is surging behind the organization, transforming the Shiite group’s leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, into a folk hero and forcing a change in official statements.

- Lebanese PM: Hezbollah must be disarmed
  Posted by Billbar from Chron
  Hezbollah has created a "state within a state" in Lebanon and must be disarmed, Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora said in an interview published Thursday in an Italian daily. "It's not a mystery that Hezbollah answers to the political agendas of Tehran and Damascus," Saniora was quoted as saying by Corriere. "The entire world must help us disarm Hezbollah. But first we need to reach a cease-fire."

- G-8 calls for end to Mideast strife
  Posted by Jon from CNN
  The statement noted particularly "the rising civilian casualties on all sides and damage to infrastructure," and called for an end to the violence. The statement said the "root cause" of the conflict "is the absence of a comprehensive Middle East peace."

- The Road to War
  Posted by Jon from Guardian UK
  More good middle-east background... "The questions are now manifold and evident; answers less so. How and why did the crisis explode so powerfully and so quickly? What are the regional ramifications? And what happens next?"

- Hezbollah: We're ready for 'open war'
  Posted by Billbar from Yahoo News!
  "You wanted an open war, and we are heading for an open war," Hezbollah's leader, Sheik Hassan Nasrallah, said. "We are ready for it." "The surprises that I have promised you will start now. Now in the middle of the sea, facing Beirut, the Israeli warship that has attacked the infrastructure, people's homes and civilians — look at it burning," Nasrallah said. "It will sink and with it will sink scores of Israeli Zionist soldiers. This is just the beginning," he warned.
