If you want sophisticated non-simplistic answers to Middle East problems, Fouad Ajami is your man.

You can ask him any question and has analytical answers.  OK. Who ignited the Sunni-Shite war, Mr Lebanese Likudnik?

Ajami: "He (Bashshar Al-Asad) had ignited a religious war between Sunni and Shiite Islam". 

Who ignited the Israeli war on Lebanon, o token Arab?

Ajami: "In 2006, the leader of Hezbollah ignited a war on the Israeli-Lebanese border."  This man should be crowned as the clown of all Middle East analysts.
