...Israel event yesterday. Eynat Shlein-Michael, the counselor, who is based in Israel’s Washington D.C. embassy said that Israel was not fighting a “war” against Lebanon but was engaged in a “conflict” with the non-state terror organization Hezbollah. “We chose not to fight Lebanon. Hezbollah is our enemy,” she said. Shlein-Michael said the conflict started when Hezbollah launched a long-range missile into Haifa, the third largest city in Israel. “It was a declaration...
...electorate - like Washington's erstwhile "man in Iraq," former Prime Minister Iyad Allawi. Maliki agrees in principle that Shi'ite political militias must be disbanded or brought under government control. But he also believes this can't be done as long as Shi'ite communities face a terror threat from Sunni insurgents.

"The government claims Abu Doha is a security threat, yet can't convict him of anything here - so they send this dangerous man to what one might presume would be freedom in Algeria," the Amnesty spokesman says. "It's very difficult not to wonder if this...
...heavy U.S. presence in Sadr City sparked street protests, with demonstrators calling for an end to the "siege" of Sadr City. And the fact that the U.S. security cordon around the area did not prevent a terror attack on Monday morning that killed at least 26 Shi'ite day laborers and wounding at least 60 people will only escalate the tension. One reason Prime Minister Nuri al-Maliki has castigated the U.S. for recent raids against the Mahdi Army is the fact that in Shi'ite communities, sectarian militias are often seen as a necessary level of self-defense against...
