Of course it's correct. Israel hates Lebanon. They have the opportunity to attack them and what do they do? They show extreemly excessive force that doesn't effect the Hezbollah, but it does kill many innocent Lebanese civilians.

Well since we never went after Saudi Arabia after 9/11, I'd say that the US is likely to simply let it go. Wait, Israel can now not only bomb Lebanon, ut they can invade, too? Maybe we should escalate this further, and give Israel moral permission to nuke Lebanon's major cities (so the can destroy the Hezbollah infurstructure). I mean that seems to be a reasonable response to having two soldiers kidnapped.

Am I responsible for the continuing war in Iraq? I voted in the 2004 US election.

They hold some power, but they are not the government. It'sa like sayign that the Independants here in the US hold political power. They do on a simplistic level, but in reality they basically have none.

How about Hezbollah? The people who ae no dead are not Hezbollah, and that's the point. Israel is foolish. Israel is going to create MORE enemies from this move. Did you know that some of the casualties were Israeli?
