Reply #2: France is not stupid [View All]

[Jacobin]

Putting European troops in the middle of crossfire between Hezbollah and Israel is a recipe for disaster and will only lead to bloodshed. I don't blame France at all. I think the conflict has gone too far for it to end well. Israel thought it could do a Shock and Awe on Lebanon and make Hezbollah unpopular, and it lost the bet. Hezbollah is feeling empowered and has an increased approval among Lebanese. This is going to get much worse over the years than it is better.

Thank you Madam Supertanker and HeadBlivet for creating yet another multi-year human debacle.
