  • The neocons' next war

    By secretly providing NSA intelligence to Israel and undermining the hapless Condi Rice, hardliners in the Bush administration are trying to widen the Middle East conflict to Iran and Syria, not stop it.
  • Other fallout from the Israel-Hezbollah war

    An environmental disaster, a wave of cyberterrorism and a dangerous escalation of the propaganda wars.
  • The war between Bush and Bush

    In matters of foreign policy and war, it's like father, not so like son.
  • Losing hearts and minds in the Middle East

    The civilian death toll in Lebanon has been ugly -- but pales in comparison with the recent carnage in Iraq.
  • Lawbreakers, paradigm shifters, opportunity scoffers and letter writers

    Today's must-reads from TPMMuckraker, William Gibson and more.
  • Bush: We have to destroy Lebanon in order to save it

    Plus: What the Israel/Hezbollah war has to do with 9/11.
  • Fathoming the unfathomable: Bush's non-response to Lebanon

    Trying to figure out what the administration could be thinking -- four possibilities.
  • The fallout from Qana

  • Watching Beirut die

    We went to Beirut to film a TV show about the city's newly vibrant culinary and cultural scene. Then the bombs started falling, and we could only stand on the barricades of our hotel balcony and watch it all disappear -- again.
  • The "hiding among civilians" myth

    Israel claims it's justified in bombing civilians because Hezbollah mingles with them. In fact, the militant group doesn't trust its civilians and stays as far away from them as possible.
  • Is Israel facing a quagmire?

    As many as 14 Israeli troops were killed by Hezbollah forces Wednesday, raising the specter of a grinding guerrilla war Israelis don't want.
  • Domino diplomacy

    Condi Rice and Co. are using the conflict in Lebanon as a proxy war with Iran that will somehow rescue the U.S. from failure in Iraq.
  • Negotiating the peace

    Diplomats must set aside ideology and focus on the resolvable Lebanese-Israeli dispute. Only then can the wider conflict between the U.S. and Israel, and the Arab world, be addressed.
  • Bush's diplomacy allergy

    As war in the Middle East rages, even some conservatives are calling for the U.S. to start talking to its enemies, not just its friends.

    Masters of ambiguity, Iran's leaders don't want war with Israel and the U.S. -- and are more alarmed by the Lebanese crisis than the West realizes.
  • The showdown

    Israel has decided to put a final stop to Hezbollah and its leader Hassan Nasrallah -- and for once the world supports it. But even if it wins this war, another is probably coming.
  • Israel's maximal option

    Part of Israel's war strategy may be to push the Shiites out of Lebanon's south. That would be a humanitarian disaster -- and it won't work.
  • The Mideast death dance

    Hamas and Hezbollah, Lebanon and Palestine, Syria and Iran, the U.S. and Israel: Unless these four pairs of actors turn away from their failed policies, the Middle East will sink further into violence and despair.
