Israel's defeat in Lebanon is a defeat for the U.S.-Israeli alliance, for
Bush's 'global war on terror,' and for the U.S. policy of
'democratization' across the Middle East. It’s the UN’s turn now to try
and appease Israel and it’s neighbours. But the continuing threat of more
Israeli aggression; the rise of support for Hezbollah in Lebanon and a
solution to the Palestine-Israeli conflict more distant than ever, make
the UN effort a hazardous one at best.

Phyllis Bennis analyses the outcome of the war; the consequences for the
US as a player in the region and the potential role for anti-war
movements.
