Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmednejad has declared Hezbollah's victory over Israel and the United States. He praised the guerillas and claimed that Western influences in the Middle East have been dealt a serious blow.
Have Western influences been undermined in the wake of the recent war in the East? Are the Iranian-Syrian dreams of a Middle East free from Western influences drawing nearer. I'm not so sure.

"God's promises have come true," Ahmadinejad told a huge crowd in Arbadil in northwestern Iran. "On one side, it's corrupt powers of the criminal U.S. and Britain and the Zionists ... with modern bombs and planes. And on the other side is a group of pious youth relying on God."
God and a super-sized Mcchicken Sandwhich with a venti caramel machiato. Ahmednejad may think that the west will crumble if not for eastern oil. But wait until we threaten you remove Starbucks. We'll see who's dependent on who.
