#2 Interesting...

Yesterday, I watched the Israeli ambassador and the Lebanon designee speak to the UN.

Afterwards, the ChiCom ambassador was doing liplocks with the Lebanese delegation while the Israel group got zero attention from outside their own delegation.

#3 The mastermind behind the coordinated Arab demand for an immediate Israeli troop withdrawal from Lebanon is China's special envoy to the Middle East, Sun Bigan, who is currently visiting the region.

Concerned about the ever-increasing blowback that will finally result in their biggest oil supply, namely Iran, being taken off line, is he? China has spent so much time pouring gasoline on regional fires (North Korea, for instance) that they well and truly need a solid object lesson in global manners. Choking off Iran's oil production would be an ideal demonstration of consequences.

#4 You have peripheral dupes like Kimmie and Pervert in Pakland providing support, but is there any real doubt that the principals are China and Russia ?

#5 Yeah. The Iranians were doing this long ago without any assistance. They may be getting assistance now and then, but they are calling the shots, not Moscow or Peking.
