To be honest, I'm quite surprised at everyone railing against Hezbollah more than at Hamas.
Hezbollah was formed as a direct response to the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. They have stated they will cease military action once Israel withdraws.
Hamas, on the other hand, are specifically committed to the destruction of Israel.
Both organizations are terrorist in nature. However, one is a bit crazier than the other. I believe the only reason the US is supporting the action against Hezbollah, and not encouraging Israel to do the same against Hamas, is because Hezbollah is actively supported by Iran and Syria.
It's strange really. Israel is destroying one of the few examples of a good, democratic nation in the Arab world, and the US is egging it on. And Bush uses IRAQ as an example to the world, asking other countries to adopt it as a model?!
It's a strange world we live in.
