"... But they copied them from US actions in targetting infrastructure first. Why no-one is complaining that that is "illegal"?" It is illegal under international law but both the U.S. and Israel have blatantly ignored international law including even the Geneva convention for years. I was initially for the trials in The Hague of war criminals from ex-Yugoslavia but consider them now a farce as the same yardstick isn't used when the culprits are from the U.S. or Israel.

Israel's actions are extreme and counterproductive Are they really? What should they do? Tolerate a terrorist army in So Lebanon which is a state within a state, and has the capacity to bomb Israel at will, and has been doing it from time to time? No one seems to talk about this, but - at least so far - it is amazing how strong the Hezbollah is, how well they are able to fight back the Israelis and to reciprocate after attacks. And how well they are prepared and armed. Strong SOB's. No wonder other Arab nations are keeping a low profile... they probably like what's happening. They know they might be next in the "hezbollisation" of the region.
