I knew that this was coming: playing by the Israeli playbook of occupation. US forms a paramilitary militia in Iraq. Nothing hardened people's positions against the Israeli occupation in South Lebanon more than the South Lebanon Army (the militia of thugs that Israel founded). The name of the new militia in Iraq is: "South Iraq Army." The head of the South Lebanon Army fled for his life when Israel was forced to leave Lebanon, and is now nicknamed General Hummus (not to be confused with Gen. Falafil) in the Israeli press because he just opened a Middle East restaurant in Israel. He promised to not shoot at his customers. Old habits are hard to break: he has been accustomed to shooting at Lebanese civilians.
