"That doesn't change that what I said was an accurate assesment. Those that support Hezbollah also support their tactics. When I refer to supporters, I mean countries, organizations, and idividuals that provide any level of support. This support allows Hezbollah to carry out their political goals using ruthless tactics. None of their supporters express any sort of concern over the tactics they use, while decrying less vicious tactics employed by the Israeli's. Without a change in that attitude and a change in Hezbollah's approach, a just a sustainable peace is simply unlikely."
i agree completely.even rafik hariri, who in my opinion was an amzing leader, himself said that he had no intention of getting rid of hezbollah because they were an important force against israel in the south. i even remeber not too long ago the prime minister of lebanon (it might have been the ambrassador to the US i cant remember clearly) saying that Hezbollah is upholding "arab honor."
A few weeks ago, one of the rockets fired by hezbollah killed israelie civilians. two of these civilians were young arab girls. Nasrallah apologized for killing them. that apology said a lot about the mindset of such groups.
