I've Been Thinking:

US Vice President Joe Biden will visit Beirut, Lebanon today.

Biden will meet with the Lebanese prime minister and president.

The objective of the trip is to bolster support for the Lebanese elections that are scheduled for two weeks from now, on June 2nd.

Right now, the elections look very tight.

Hezbollah might actually get a plurality in these elections and then take over Lebanon. Hezbollah is getting assistance and support from Syria. They are growing in their percentages because so many non-Hezbollah supporters are fleeing, leaving the oppressive environments controlled by Hezbollah in the south of Lebanon.

Since 2006 the United States has given a billion dollars in aid to Lebanon.

If Hezbollah becomes the prime force in the Lebanese government, that aid will stop.
If Hezbollah wins the election Lebanon will become a mini Iran, it will be a second Shiite nation and it will be an Islamic state.
It will threaten Israel and be a strong, effective proxy for Iran in the region and around the world.

If Hezbollah wins the election, Hezbollah will destroy Lebanon.
