LEBANON.PROFILE is extremely upset that Israel did not attempt to ally itself with Lebanon. (He could be, and most likely is, just as frustrated that Lebanon did not attempt to ally itself with Israel.) He quite correctly points out that Israel and Lebanon are similar countries with similar regional problems and the same list of enemies. I’ve been saying for some time now that the two would be natural allies in a more intelligent world. Maybe someday, years from now, after all this is over, and – Inshallah – Hezbollah is out of the picture.
