It is interesting how such support goes so blindly and unevenly for Israel and it's people. Is this to mean that Lebanon does not have the right to self defense and neither the Palestinians?
I don't condone any attacks on Israel period but giving Israel
carte blanche to do as they please is nothing short of war crimes. Collective punishment isn't the answer and if Israel and the US think this is the route to take in some warped way, Godspeed to them. Instilling terror on anyone is terrorism. There is no good or bad side when it comes to terror.

The Final Say
Israel and its enemies will talk eventually, the only issue is how many civilians on all sides will have to die before it happens
By Eric Margolis
The Bush administration, Israel and U.S.-aligned Arab states have been blaming Iran and Syria for igniting the worst Mideast fighting in many years.
They claim Iran and ally Syria got Lebanon's political-military movement, Hezbollah, to kidnap two Israeli soldiers in a patch of disputed border territory. Tehran's goal, they say, was to divert attention from growing efforts to curtail its nuclear program. This view has some merit, but is far from the whole story.
