Meanwhile, Lebanon Is Kind Of Going To Hell - Good Job, State Department!

Saudi Arabia and Kuwait are calling on their citizens to leave "as soon as possible." The US just moved three warships into the region. And Hezbollah and Syria are willing to let the entire country burn:
A U.S. deployment of warships off Lebanon sharpened tensions in the crisis-ridden nation as the Shiite militant group Hezbollah said it won't be intimidated, and the U.S.-backed government that the ships may be intended to bolster distanced itself from the move... "We are facing an American threat against Lebanon," Hezbollah legislator Hassan Fadlallah said on local television. "It is clear this threat and intimidation will not affect us," he said. The government and opposition have been locked in a 15-month power struggle, with Hezbollah and its allies trying to force out Siniora's administration. The deadlock has prevented the country from electing a president since November, leaving the post empty in a dangerous power vacuum. Though both sides have tried to prevent violence, many fear the political conflict could turn into clashes between the two camps.
Hey, remember that time when the IDF was ready to dismantle Hezbollah once and for all? But then Olmert got held back by the State Department right before Rice went out of her way to screw Israel diplomatically? That's working out well.
