Toast of the Mid-East?

Tide of Arab Opinion Turns to Support for Hezbollah

Today's NYT (above) leads with indications that Arab states seem to be moving toward an anti-Israel coalition, including states like Egypt and Jordon who supposedly have peace pacts with the jewish state. This trend was probably inevitable but the fact it is happening sooner rather than later may be a good sign. Even Blair seems to have woken up (after the horse has bolted, of course) as the Guardian reports he's telling Bush that Amerika's opposition to a ceasefire may be about to have a "tinderbox" effect. Clearly both are going to have more to worry about than just Syria and Iran.

Later.
