for starters.. like abaya said, there isnt a drop of oil in lebanon....but we do have pride..and yes, we do have a lot going for us. Not all the middle east is rich with oil. a handful yes, mainly dictatorships.. saudi, iran, iraq being the big players. lebanon has been thriving on its tourism for the past 10-15 years. it had a lot going for it..but then again israel was in the same boat. the only difference is that the war was fought within lebanons borders, so therefore the stakes for it would be much higher.
as for hezbollah...how do we 'kick' a force that was set up by due to the 1982 israeli occupation? every shiite muslim in south lebanon..or lebanon for that fact would consider him or herself hezbollah because most would agree with their main ideals of the party. so really, how do u uproot a people based on their religion? this would surely cause a civil war in lebanon if this was to happen. i can already hear it though.."yeah why not"..its easy for "you" to say it, but like ive said before lebanons been recovering from 20 years of civil war.. no body looks at those years with any pride. the whole war came to a trickle and everyone layed down their arms because they realised the futility of the whole thing. another war like that is not the way to go. but its ok for 'you' to say yeah why not, while sitting in your armchairs sipping on cherry soda while watching friday night football... why do 'they' hate 'you' you ask?
ive read recently about that 14 year old iraqi girl who allegedly got raped by the american soldiers. if these guys do get found guilty, and get off lightly, then im sure that this reason for 'hating us' would surely increase. all i ask for is a fair trial. all the iraqis will ask for is their heads..and all the americans will ask for is their aquittal.... ultimately not everyone iwll be happy and this cycle of hate will continue.
