I recorded a long (50-min) interview with Tariq Ali today (on the Middle East & Latin America), which I'll run in a few weeks. In it, Tariq said that an under-reported aspect of Israel's unhappy experience in Lebanon was that, in contrast with a stoked Hezbollah, the IDF is now full of members of the global slacker class who just didn't want to be there. Any thoughts on this?
