August 18th, 2008 by Sarah
Itamar Rabinovitch in Haaretz compares the Georgian-Russian conflict with the Syrian-Lebanon situation, and explores its ramifications on the Middle East. “There is less of a chance that the United States and Russia will be cooperating to stop Iran’s nuclear program” and “there is a greater chance that Russia will wage a more ambitious and aggressive policy, including selling advanced weapons systems to Iran and Syria.”
