Why has there even been any doubt?
Photos that damn Hezbollah
I'm still confused as to why the Bush administration is not pushing along the fact that the Israel-Lebanon war is the exact same war that the U.S. is involved in Iraq. In fact, I believe that this lack of clarity has been the main reason Bush has seen his popularity sink to such a low level. On one hand, the President has called Iran, Syria and North Korea the Axis of Evil. With those words, he sent a message to terrorists and the regimes that harbor them that they are being targeted in the war against terror.
On the other hand, while not forcing Israel to stop their attack in Lebanon, they haven't really haven't shown the world that there are consequences for Iran and Syria's action. Just more words.
As the truth of the atrocities committed by Hezbollah is coming out, it appears that the administration is distancing itself from the conflict. While Condi Rice shuffles between Washington and Jerusalem, instead of keeping a united front against terror, she talks of taking Israel to task.
Consider the words of Benyamin Netanyahu, speaking of the Islamofacists:

The only way for any cessation of fire is if we take this threat seriously. I shudder to think that we aren't for the sake of "world opinion". After all, since when has the world ever been right?"Israel, to be sure, will be their #1 target but we're only their first target, and they say so. They want eventually to get you (America), and they have no problem and no inhibition firing upon civilians, hiding among civilians."
