A Nightmare Scenario?
I don't know if this is true...but this could widen the conflict...
A senior member of Muqtada al-Sadr's Iraqi Shi'ite militia, the Mahdi Army, says the group is forming a squadron of up to 1,500 elite fighters to go to Lebanon.
The plan reflects the potential of the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah to strengthen radical elements in Iraq and neighboring countries and to draw other regional players into the Lebanon conflict.
"We are choosing the men right now," said Abu Mujtaba, who works in the loosely organized following of radical Shi'ite cleric Muqtada al-Sadr. "We are preparing the right men for the job."

It would be great if Israel had neutron bombs to drop on southern Lebanon when the suicide bombers started arriving.
Imagine if the violence between Sunni and Shiite we are seeing in Iraq and has been simmering all over the middle-east flares up. It could be a multinational sectarian war. The common hatred for Isreal has kept them at peace but things could get out of hand quickly.
