Spectator sport



In the blue corner, loudmouthed featherweight Hizbullah. In the red corner heavyweight Israel, pumped-up on steroids.

Bungling promoters, Iran and Syria, watch with horror as their punchdrunk champ nears collapse. Strike-below-the-belt Uncle Sam cheers on his Star of David who is now lashing out at the spectators.

The blue corner are undeterred. They push their champ back into the ring and order him to sit still until the last spectator has been crushed by the Star of David.

That way no one will suspect that the bout was fixed, no one will ask for their money back and the bungling promoters and Uncle Sam will live to tell the tale.

Now that's not true at all.

Iran and Syria want Lebanese democracy destroyed, so the more Lebanese people are killed, the better.

And Hezbollah, the death of their followers doesn't hurt the cause of fascism.

The only possible fly in the soup is the possibility that the rest of Lebanon will keep their heads and insist that Hezbollah is disarmed, perhaps with international help.

Now THAT would be the end of the game for Syria and Iran.
