- G8 summit: Climate compromise masks mounting conflicts
  Posted by Sandyenglish
  The 3,500 reporters and photographers who travelled to the G8 summit in Heiligendamm, Germany, have accomplished their assigned mission. The world has been inundated with reports of progress and idyllic photos: Bush, Merkel and Putin sitting relaxed and chatting in beach chairs; Sarkozy and Blair talking over a glass of beer; a harmonious walk on the beach of the picturesque resort by all of the world leaders.

  This is really excellent analysis of what is really behind arab leaders’ criticism of Hezbollah’s actions: they would easily tolerate it, but they fear Hezbollah and it’s backer, Iran, are out to reshape the Middle East.
