Hi Monk,
You are correct, IMO.
I only put it on the table because the Iranians have a history in Lebanon and doubtlessly have some sort of presence or liason, I would imagine.
Too, there is always deniability: with the people of Lebanon fed up with foreign influences, their anger and attention is currently focused on Syria. I would think that it would be within the realm of prudent, reasonable speculation that someone might mount some sort of operation and try to have Syria take the fall. I will defer to the judgement of others with more knowledge of the situation as to the likelihood of such an occurrence.
