Decision comes after Saudis reject Bush appeal to increase oil

One: Hizbullah's power play [ CAROLINE GLICK , A Complicated Alliance By: Lee Hudson Teslik | Council on
Foreign Relations Today, oil still
dominates U.S.-Saudi ties. But the fairly straightforward buy-sell dynamic
between the world’s leading importer and leading exporter of crude is
increasingly complicated by a host of other issues, from security cooperation
to currency concerns. Asia Times Tehran ponders the spoils of
victory Saudis, US grapple with Iran challenge
The reaction to the flareup in Lebanon has left Saudi Arabia (and its United
States ally) with no doubt that there are not many takers in the Arab world
for anti-Iran, anti-Hezbollah ploys. This leaves the George W Bush
administration with little choice other than to resort to back-channel
diplomacy to engage Tehran, while the Saudis, too, will have to re-asses
their stance on Iran. - M K Bhadrakumar Bush, McCain dream on in war landBush
and the man who hopes to replace him, Senator John McCain, have divulged to
the world their beautiful dreams, in which Middle East weapons have become ploughshares,

weapons. This stuff keeps the neo-cons happy, even though the politics
that will make it reality are absent. - Jim Lobe TIME Welcome

Al Hayat Lebanon's Battles in
Light of the Struggle for Regional Domination Raghida Dergham - Hezbollah's coup in Lebanon is
one of the episodes of a new regional order in the Middle East, one that is
imposed by the Islamic Republic of Iran through the language of weapons
pointed towards the interior to insure local domination.
Bashir Gemayel and Hassan Nasrallah Abdullah Iskandar -
Questions for the Opposition Ghassan Charbel - If the Lebanese government was said, in light of the two
decisions it took, to have erred in assessing the sensitiveness of the issue
and the gravity of the timing, then can't it be said that the opposition,
with the first shot it fired in the streets of Beirut, has poorly assessed
Lebanon's sensitive structure, a mistake tantamount to a fatal sin?
