Neocons Are Nuts To Join Israel-Hezbollah Conflict. I’m sorry, I can’t make a reasoned, longwinded response to this latest neocon nonsense. Gingrich is so defensive about the idiocy of this assertion, that the Israel-Hezbollah conflict is WWIII and that the US should not wait to get on the right side of the conflict — specifically by taking out Iran, Syria and while we’re at it that bastion of the worldwide anti-American Islamist conspiracy North Korea as well — that each time he defends it in the media his blowhard list of bits of evidence from around the world inflates more and more (in parallel with the inflation of his jowls and his presidential aspirations). In a sense, though, he is right, the enemies of the West, or the US in particular, are mustering, emboldened in solidarity around the world. The only problem is that the neocons do not notice that it was the US’s arrogant unilateral bellicosity they largely whipped up which engendered it.
