Quotable

Prince Faisal on the "new Middle East":

“We would like to return to the old Middle East as we did not see anything in the new Middle East apart from more problems...The Middle East is not an uninhabited area, it has people, governments and our destiny is determined after God’s will by its people.”

Translation: The region isn't just a guinea pig for 'birth pang' experiments. And we think Hezbollah (and Iran) are getting stronger, not weaker--not least given the passe partout granted Ehud, and America's basic impotence in Iraq (where Iran is gaining strength daily...)
