More Talk of U.S. Conducting a Proxy War Through Israel

From MSNBC with nods to Buzzflash for the link:

"It's really a proxy war between the United States and Iran," said David J. Rothkopf, a scholar at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace and author of "Running the World," a book on U.S. foreign policy. "When viewed in that context, it puts everything in a different light."

Which would mean that the Israeli strikes against Hezbollah that is killing so many civilians in Lebanon is just a stage play for behind-the-scenes swipes at Iran and, to a lesser degree, Syria.
