Lebanon's various factions have united against Israel's onslaught, and Hizballah can still count on broad support. But many citizens are angry at Hizballah for taking it upon itself to initiate a new conflict with Israel. Some politicians say privately that when the dust settles from the fighting, Hizballah should be held to account and disarmed. That's assuming Hizballah continues to survive Israel's blitz in some recognizable form. As Naboulsi, the spokesman, made his way through the rubble of Harat Hreik, a security man with a walkie-talkie suddenly shouted, "Evacuate! Evacuate!" Naboulsi started running down...
...world as it responded to Hizballah's incursion, at least in the beginning. Israel's withdrawal of the last of its settlers and soldiers from the Gaza Strip a year ago added to the store of global goodwill that Israel started out with.

On Thursday, Nasrallah specifically rejected such claims as false, and he is not the only one to cast doubt on such precise estimates . "If someone offers an evaluation of Hizballah's arsenal, don't count on it too much," says the senior intelligence official...
...says their system was built for runners. When tracked by Nike + iPod, the movements of the elliptical appear slow, and the stride appears short (because the machine's up-and-down motion is not taken into account, nor is its tension). Distance is measured about right, but the calorie count is way off. Since the product was announced, people have wondered what sorts of athletics they can use it for. For the time being, it's all about running...
