It doesn't seem this conflict will end very soon, for the mere reason that Hezbollah cannot be defeated by the Israeli army, the Israeli army is only capable of killing hundreds of civilians and every now and then a Hezbollah strider.

First Israel thought to show its power and crush Hezbollah within days, then it became weeks... when will the time come that they announce they have no clue on the time frame anymore? In contrast, Hezbollah is not going to surrender, they'll fight till the bitter end, while Iranian volunteers are heading for the battle field. I think we might conclude the end of this war is far away, rather sooner than later we will hear more than a thousands people died.

The US seems to support the entire operation and thus is indirectly as responsible as Israel. The entire world literally cries to stop this war, but the US, the only country able to influence Israel, doesn't hear the world, which allows Israel to do what they like. Meanwhile, Arab countries that up till lately supported Israel, also pronounced their condemnations against the Israeli brutality, which could give access to other Arab countries to start meddling with the conflict.

Since a Western intervention force seems far away, it would in my opinion, be very possible an Arab country will start officially supporting Hezbollah/Lebanon with its fight against Israel, as the situation gets worse and worse, and heading for an out-of-control status.

And finally, what are the Iranian plans in this conflict. Why would they have secretly carried away te bodies of the Revolutionary guards? Do they want to avoid a conflict with Israel? What are your ideas on this?

IRAN’S involvement in the Middle East crisis emerged last night after four of its soldiers were killed fighting Israel in Lebanon.

The elite Revolutionary Guards’ bodies were ferried in secret from the frontline.

It was damning evidence Iran’s President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad is deeply involved in pulling the strings in Hezbollah’s war with Israel.

A Lebanese security source said: “It’s the clearest indication yet that Iran is fighting a proxy war against Israel. As any hard evidence of it happening would be potentially explosive for the whole region, it’s no wonder such care is being taken to ship out the Iranian dead in secret.”

Israeli and Egyptian security officials later confirmed reports the four dead had been transported to Syria, then flown to Iranian capital Tehran.

There are believed to be up to 100 Iranians fighting covertly alongside Hezbollah guerillas — with Iranian technicians helping fanatics fire rockets across the border.

Just days ago The Sun revealed teams of Iranian suicide bombers were heading into Lebanon’s war zone.

JERUSALEM — Tehran is using Hezbollah's confrontation with the Jewish state to test its weapons capabilities and to observe Israeli military tactics, Lebanon's Druze leader, Walid Jumblatt, said yesterday.

Mr. Jumblatt said he fears Syria will take advantage of the growing crisis in Lebanon to reassert its influence in the country and convince the international community that Syrian domination of Lebanon is crucial to the stability of the Middle East.

He warned Damascus might initiate a wave of terror in Lebanon following Israel's military campaign there to destabilize the country further, perhaps by assassinating the Lebanese prime minister.
