Sullivan says so, so does Broder and Friedman. Can't deny that Rumsfeld and Bush's incompetence seems to have handed over control of the country to the most extremist members of Iraq, and the Hezbollah affair has only increased their dominance. Israel's not helping matters by bombing civillians at a number far outweighing their opponents. Expect this to escalate in the next couple of days with Hezbollah targeting Tel Aviv.
The worse part about all of this is that the entire West seems impotent and undecisive in this situation. They want a cease fire, but won't commit troops, and we want to win Iraq but don't want to commit the proper resources to our troops. Two years ago we needed to piss or get off the pot, but now the toilet's backed up and the outhouse is totalled.
