The Middle East Paradox
The current Lebanese conflict seems to be more complex than what we hear in the media.
Here are some thoughts:
In 1982 Israel used 140,000 army troopers to invade Lebanon and they reached Beirut in a day.
This time they used only 10,000 troops. Easily they could've used more troops and achieve their goal, yet they didn't.
What's their true intention? - Israel didn't want to win the war, just the opposite they made it look like Hizbollah won the war.
Reason? they want to keep the unrest in the area so none of their 'neighbours' will be able to become a developed country.
Arabs have oil and hence billions of dollars, they can emerge as a strong economy anytime they are given a chance, yet since 1967 Israel constantly creates a conflict and keeps the Arabs in a war situation and together with US they suck all the oil money from them for weapons and war excuses. (who created the Iraq-Iran war? who was selling them arms? why?)
They say Iran is arming Hizbollah? think again, all the arms that Hizbollah is using are American made! Israel and US are selling weapons to these people. It's a stage for business for them, that's all.
As long as there is conflict in the area, there are huge return in the weapons business.
So the main aim and intention of all Middle Eastern conflicts is business, weapons' business.
War is a business for them, no matter who the victim is.

Hi Siamanto. You've piqued my interest in your comment that there is a "Koenig Memorandum" that is separate and distinct from the "Koenig Report" - and supposedly in the "Washington Archives". Which "archives" are you referring to? The Library of Congress? I just queried the LOC for "Koenig, Israel" as an author search and "Koenig Memorandum" as a title search with no results. I need more detail - and am willing to admit I am wrong if that's the situation.For those of you wondering what's going on, Siamanto posted a comment this post on the use of an apparently falsified quotation in an attempt to incite hatred against Jews at UC Irvine.
