Interesting, I was just reading one of the Beeg's world news pages, and they are quoting a commentator from the Israeli paper Ha'aretz saying:

"The resemblance between our invasion of Lebanon and America's invasion of Iraq is amazing. We wanted to create a new order in Lebanon; they wanted to create a new order in Iraq. Within a short time, in both cases, the Shia had woken up and the invading armies became targets of attack. We pulled out without achieving a thing and Bush is still there, mired in a sea of blood from which no good will come. If I were him, I'd send Saddam Hussein back to Iraq - he would know how to sort this mess out in no time."

While that sounds pretty inflammatory to me, we as Brits and Americans have to be able to put Iraq in it's proper contexts. Lebanon had it's Shia and Shiites too...
