Hesbola has sworn itself to Israels destruction. And you only have to read the declaration Nassralah made after the start of the offensive to know what a madman he is. Israel occupied Lebanon to route the PLO. So lets not fantasize here about hesbola, who fought sidebyside with the PLO. The PLO, not only Israel's enemy, but a prime mover in blowing up and extending the civil war for 15 years. How many thousands died, and how much destruction did that cause?
I will continue to call hesbola terrorists. They have undertaken many terrorist attacks around the globe, they continue to call for the destruction of Israel, and they say they will fight along side the enemies of Israel. If not for hesbola, Israel would have no interest in Lebanon, no need to maintain the minefields, or the harrassment of hesbola supporters. I'm not going to second guess the Israelis here. The UN security council even agrees that hesbola should be disarmed. Lebanon has a proper army of 70,000. It does not need the 6,000 fanatical geurrillas of hesbola for its security. The Lebanese government doesn't want them either, and would have disarmed them long ago if they easily could.
I'm truly very sorry your country is suffering so right now, and after such a hard won reconstruction. But please don't insult my intelligence by implying that hesbola are a bunch of good old boys and Israel is just being mean to the Lebanese. I believe you know better.
