| #12 Let me repeat what I said yeasterday: my money is on the Druze. Israel won't fight Hezbollah to any conclusion and they have F-15's, F-16's, and Merkava tanks. The Druze have what sidearms they've been able to buy and no outside supply. |

| #9 One of the features of the Druze religion is that one may not convert to it, you must be born Druze. That tends to make them susceptible to outsiders wanting to wipe them out. |

| #8 As I recall, the Hezbies and the Iranians have spent a fair bit of time building strategic And since the March 14th'ers over-played their hand, the Hezbies can now whack the Druze pretty hard. Someone correct me if I've got my facts wrong. |

| #7 The blogs I have been watching are Across the Bay, Beirut Spring and Michael Totten's blog which has had some very good guest posting lately. |

| #6 I have been watching the blogs from Lebanon. The Druze areas have been under attack from Hezballah and they have been calling the Army for help and there has been not any response. |

| #5 Wally has decided he can't win. We will see what the consequences are. One possibility (likelyhood?) is Israel decides it can't wait any longer to take out the Iranian nuclear program. A nuclear weapon on a speedboat into Haifa harbour is now a distinct possibility. |

| #2 The aggressor always wants peace. Their job is much easier if you don't fight back. |

| #1 If the Druze disarm, they are dead meat. |
