"But BOTH are merely proxies for the nations that armed and financed them.. namely Syria (and in the case of Hizbullah, Iran).
Iran has been financing the majority of Hizbullah's military power. And Iran has been supply/financing much of Syria's military as well."

I understand that but in the same sense Israel is a proxy for the US and armed to the teeth by the US. Proxies abound in that sense but israel is a nation fighting for its life and hizbolla members are shiaa arabs, not persians and they are fighting for their lives.
I dont have a good feel for this war at all and no clue how it turns out. Too bad sharon wasnt around. It may not have happened. This may be simply a probe by an enemy to see how tough Olmert is and on Olmerts part, perhaps an overreaction to prove his manhood. I am going to take a nap.
