Hezbollah,Iran,uranium.
Eight Israel Defense Forces soldiers were killed and two others were kidnapped in a series of Hezbollah assaults on the northern border yesterday. Another five soldiers and five civilians were wounded in the attacks.Hezbollah commandos crossed into Israel on the same day that Iran was supposed to give its answer to the package of incentives that the five permanent Security Council members plus Germany offered to Iran if it will suspend uranium enrichment.This doesn't seem like coincidence to me,but what could Iran gain from such a move?

Re: Hezbollah,Iran,uranium.
My take:
They (Iranian officials) think it's all a bluff, and are forcing the security council to show their hand.

Your are absolutely right. This is no coincidence.
What could Iran gain? Howabout taking its nuclear violations off the G8 agenda making international consensus on the issue all but impossible and premptively blocking all other diplomatic actions against Iran? Unfortunately, Israel has played into Iran's hands, but what else could it do? It does have a fundamental responsibility to protect the lives of each and every Israeli citizen.

Re: Hezbollah,Iran,uranium.
Looking at it as an outsider, I think, the wise would have seen this coming. There comes a stage when the exploited and the weak, flexes its muscles, only because it has no other choice, if it wants dignity and freedom that is not forthcoming to it, because the powerful strongly believes that the status quo will continue forever.

Interesting idea, but somewhat strange. I assume the 'strong' is Israel and the 'weak' is Hezbullah / Iran / Syria. Israel had withdrawn from all occupied lebanon and has been declared by the UN to have fullfilled all international obligations and agreements regarding the Lebanon. So what exactly did Hizbullah have to feel they lacked 'dignity' or 'freedom' about?

May be memories of the days past when they were suppressed, they are enjoying their freedom and power, just like a noveoue rich, who had been exposed to hardship and poverty for a long time.

Nice post. It is almost certainly the worst explanation for the cause of Islamic terror I have ever heard.

Yup yup.
Have you noticed how the American news agencies have shone the spotlight exclusively on the Israeli-Lebanon crisis?
That leaves Iran free to jump-start their nuclear ambitions out of the world's eye.
I do not remember the last time I saw (or heard) a news report on the "Iranian Nuclear Crisis".
It's easy to see why Iran so strongly supports Hezbollah and their efforts.
