The Lebanese conflict does not — at present — appear to be expanding into a regional conflict.  But should it ever balloon into a regional — or global — war, it will happen when we are finally certain it will not.  Here are some reasons to be wary:

• Some Muslim countries like Jordan are afraid of getting sucked into the war
• This is likely because other muslim countries want to arm Hizb’allah.
