Gel, sometimes you really are a dick. Your condescending attitude, and ability to put stuff into people's mouths they never said is sometimes frickin amazing.
I am very aware of the civil war Lebanon went through. I lost a few neighbors and neighbors family in that "civil" fighting. I was brought up in a community that was aware of the deaths on a daily basis. Your smarmy comment about Canada being part of the US is also assinine. No, Lebanon never officially requested help from the international community dealing with Hezbollah. They made a number of oblique references to the fact that they cannot control them, but never formally requested help. Or they would have had it. It has actually been suggested to them by various international representatives, but they did not want to risk angering Hezbollah, and potentially plunging the country back into a civil war (possibly a reasonable fear). They did, however, make the choice to "do nothing", and let Hezbollah do what it wanted, where it wanted. This was a "take the easier" path choice the country and its leadership made. They made this bed, and now somewhat have to lie in it. I agree it sucks, and maybe all their choices were bad ones. But they made this particular choice (to join into a government with Hezbollah), and now are realizing what exactly that means. I also never said the people DESERVE it, but that this is an almost inevitable consequence of having terrorists as part of your government. And the fact that you say I want to find an excuse for the murder of 1000 innocents is what makes you a true prick. FUCK YOU. Please tell me where I ever said that, hinted at that, or gave anyone but you the impression I condoned it in any way. Jeesh.
