Easy to say, considering you're not Lebanese and you (or your family) are not living there in fear right now.

That's just it... Lebanon is a pawn right now. No one really cares what happens to that country... but oh, how that would change if you had been to Beirut, if you had seen how long it's taken to reconstruct so much damage from 15 years ago. And now it's all blown to shit again.

And that's just infrastructure; I'm not even talking about the psychological trauma that has been reintroduced to the Lebanese people as a result of these strikes.

Anyway, thanks for responding Frost. If the Israelis really had balls, though, they'd have gone straight fot the jugular. The fact that they are so stuck on Lebanon is beyond me... unless there is something else going on. I'm not convinced that this is *all* about Hezbollah.
