Opinion: A Lebanese-Iraqi signature

When the destructive Israeli war on Lebanon comes to an end, tough questions will arise: What will be Hizbullah's position in Lebanese politics? How can the majority bloc that runs the government and heard about the war on TV and radio deal with Hizbullah? These two issues and others will be the key for the real inferno in Lebanon that will come out of the war. This country was destroyed and there are no indications that Iran and Syria -- the two countries supporting the confrontation between Hizbullah and Israel – are doing anything to support reconstruction. They aren't saying anything except that they support Hizbullah in standing against Israel. There is some speculation that the Iraqi destiny may be the same if certain parties stay out of the government and remain obedient to their Marjaiya, who order them to fight or make peace but do not have the Iraqi public's interest in mind. Those supported by Iran in Iraq should notice that Iranian officials said they will defend Syria in an Israeli attack, while Israel is destroying Iranian-supported Hizbullah. Who guarantees that Iran will stand motionless if Syria is attacked? It's a battle all are involved in, but Iran is watching and guarding its life as the most precious while there is a real confrontation on the ground. Iran is playing the game in Iraq under American domination, but what if the rules of the game changed? Many will face their destinies alone. That's why it's too early to call for a federalist region in the south (which is predominantly Shia.) The game is about to change.
