Here's how I see things progressing:

- Israel invades Lebanon on the ground, says it's just defending it's sovereignty and trying to root out the terrorist Hezbollah.
- Syria joins in on Lebanon's side, with Iran joining a little later.
- Now it's Israel against Lebanon, Syria and Iran. Israel can't take that much punishment, so it calls on it's allies in the region and around the world to help out...the US included. This would leave the US in quite the dilemma. Do you help the state that you've supported militarily for the past 60 years, or do you stand back and see what happens when the dust settles?
- Some of Israels allies join in, followed by a whole bunch of the Arabic nations in the area.
- War spreads all over...
The next World War won't start from the Arabic nations... it will start when two or more powerful nations secretly agree to join as a team and try conquering another nation for its land and resources. As a result the US and its allies will react and probably stop them.

The more closer issue at hand is when and who will do the first nuclear strike plus where will they strike. My guess is a group of terrorists with people smart enough to use nukes will eventually get their hands on one. The US is hated by many, however the large ocean divides us from those haters and it isn't easy crossing an ocean with a nuke without word getting out. There's more violence in the arab nations... so I estimate a capital city will be targeted by the terrorists. I estimate the next terrorist attack in the US will be some type of deadly gas or explosion at an international airport.

I can't seem to figure out why the good people of Lebanon let a bunch of A-holes like Hezbollah operate out of their borders. Just like I can't figure out why after 60 years people continue to mess with Israel.
I was quite amused when an American University student was *****ing about how this was "all Israel's fault" while she was being evacuated.
If I lived in Lebanon, I would have expected such retaliation. Duh!

The Arab/Persian leaders who incite and finance war against Israel never suffer the consequences. So, not surprisingly, they're perfectly willing to fight to the last Palestinian.

Oh boy this mess is getting out of hand fast. I hate to say it here, but the player here, Isreal, should step off the plate and make right through peace efforts the wrongs that Hezbolla (sp) and others have forced on to them. What does it say about you if you beat a retard to death all because he threw a rock at your cat. (Kidnapping aside, the UN should force them to return those soldiers alive and well to show the world that the peace prevails over war.)

God help them all if they cannot calm things down. God help us all if we have to pick and choose sides.
