I'm not sure I necessarily buy that. Hezbollah exists for one reason: kill jews. Any action by Israel gives them a convenient excuse to do just that. They don't care if Lebanon is destroyed, they don't care if they win militarily, they don't care if any strategic goals are met....they claim victory because they killed some jews. To them, any situation that results in some dead infidels is a victory. That's why they dance in the streets, even though their cities have been laid to waste. I think Gruss' point has some value. Israel wins militarily, they decimate Hezbollah, but to what end? Eventually they re-arm, and the whole thing starts over again. Not much will change until the rest of the world wakes up and starts condemning the terrorists for the instigation, instead of the Jews for the retaliation. -- "We can sit outside and argue all night long, about a God we've never seen, but who never fails to side with me." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:215953 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
