Midmorning Roundup
Elder of Ziyon has a history of the conflicts in Lebanon. So did AFP, but, shall we say, they left something out?
Donald Sensing at Winds of Change covers the "Not It!" syndrome affecting the world powers. Anyone surprised?
Craig Newmark notes an interesting new record set by Iran, and follows up by pointing us to Mark Steyn's review of Before The Dawn, who notes an interesting trend of warfare death rates across the millennia.
JoshuaPundit gives us a history lesson on land for peace.
Michael Totten talks about the fragility of Lebanon, and plans to head back. I hope he elucidates on the parts of Lebanon not under attack by Israel.
Bill Roggio looks at Hizb'allah's capabilities, and what this may mean for the future of the proxy war with Iran.
Al Qaeda doesn't like that their ratings are slipping to Hizb'allah, and vows to get back into the fight.
Dave at IsraellyCool has a big roundup today. A memorial to the fallen at Bint Jbail; a tech company in Thailand boycotting Israeli addresses; Nasrallah goes to Damascus; Australia notes that a peacekeeping force requires peace as a precondition, and Katyushas continue to fall.
Meryl notes the PR success of an IDF soldier, and that Nasrallah's trip to Syria includes a visit with an Iranian envoy. I assume he's placing an order?
