Hardly heating up again.  It's been constant and has possibly started to spread to Lebanon.
Let's bomb Russia!

Smalls arms and explosives have been coming in from Lebanon and Turkey. It's stupid in both cases.

I can understand the Lebanese wanting to fuck over, finally, the Syrians and Assad, but Hezbollah is starting to stir about it. Firefights (isolated for now) in the south east.

The Turks under the present government are moving further from the EU with every decision they make. That might be a positive at this point though.  :P In any case, I'm glad they never joined (and never will).

In any case, if (when) Assad falls, Syria will get Taliban-grade islamism. So I don't understand the US arming the rebels.

I don't undertstand France shielding Hezbollah from the IDF while they restock their rockets either, so we're even.

Personally, I think it's completely adorable that the critics of the Libyan action are bleating about Obama not doing anything hardcore about Syria.

I'm not.  Intervention in Libya was a mistake, intervention in Syria would be a disaster.

Edit:  Having said that I always thought Libya was more Cameron and Sarko than Obama.

Of course you do; you're a European.  It was tough enough getting you people to acknowledge Bosnia '92, Kosovo '98 and Poland '39.

Poland '39.

Uhm, remind me, how long were the Brits/French fighting the Germans/Italians before the Americans joined? :P

Fuck bombing Syria. Bomb Iran over the new embassy plot.
