This is true and Israel made a strategic error. At least in the last round when they fought Hezbollah, they did. War should have been declared against Lebanon itself and Israel should have undertaken what ever steps that would have been necessary to win the war against Lebanon. <br /><br />Bottom line: had the "pro-western" forces assisted Israel they would still be in power today and Hezbollah would be destroyed right now. Unfortunately they hate Israel more than they fear or dislike Hezbollah, even to the point of jepordizing their own survival. <br /><br />Why should the West especially America back the Sunnis? While their methods may be different, they hate our guts just as much as the Shia do. <br /><br />What is needed is a coherent strategy to defeat or, at the very least, neutralize, both Shia and Sunni forces. We MIGHT be able to play them against each other, however, we can't be seen as being involved in the process. They hate us more than they hate each other. As such, they will gladly join forces to fight what they percieve as a common enemy. There will be plenty of time to resume the Sunni/Shia fighting once common enemies are vanquished. At least this is how they would see it.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
