Since Lebanon is unable to deal properly with Hezbolla and it is an indisputable fact that Hezbolla attacked Israel with out good cause (I said good cause - those nit-wits believe that they have cause, but they are wrong) it is there for up to Israel to take the entirely appropriate actions that it is taking. And since Hezbolla disguises itself as civilians, attacks from civilian structures, transports troops in disguised ambulances, hides among innocent civilians, attacks and runs CNC from hospitals and mosques, and sets up positions so close to UN posts that hitting the attacker takes out the post, Israel is obviously exercising GREAT restraint in their actions. Want proof? Ask yourself - Are there people left alive in south Lebanon? Are the countries of Syria and Iran not reduced to a radioactive desert? If Yes to both questions, then there is great restraint being exercised by Israel. More than I would have exercised. But then I am a savage barbaric MF - and proud of it.
