I'm not sure if you are saying you agree or disagree...
For the record, I'd like to see them disarmed and emasculated. And don't even get me started on Hamas or the Iranian regime.

I agree that this little adventure has probably led to increased recruitment for Hezbollah and increaed animosity towards Israel, regardless of who "won" the battle. Hezbollah does what various insurgent states have done in the past, be first in with basic rebuilding efforts with respect to schools and hospitals, in order to win public support.
