Interesting history for those of you who know little about Hezbollah (I'll assume most of you). I found the quote bellow rather interesting.



Makes that cartoon seem pretty accurate don't you think jimbob?
No, no, no! These attacks never happened. As Bush says, the capture of the Isreali soldiers was 'unprovoked'.

The title of the cartoon is 'Crosshairs' - it's about where each side aims rather than where each side is hiding. It suggests that Hezbollah target civillians whereas Israel targets Hezbollah but that is not backed up by the stats. I already know why Hezbollah hide in towns, I don't need a professor to explain it. I also think Israel would do the same given different circumstances. Did they launch their own terror campaing from open countryside, before the formation of the Israeli state?
