Not by Hezbollah rockets and not by the Israeli army. The difference is that our government is condoning the actions of the Israeli army, which is morally wrong, and is going to stif up trouble Terrorists live for Collateral Damage, it is fabulous press. Why do you think they are hiding among the civilian populace? Do you think they are there so the Civilians will be safe. You go on and on about the strength of the Israeli military, but you don't ever figure out that Hezbollah knows that. That is why they are there. Many of the people running are Lebanese Christians. Why would Hezbollah be in a Christian area? Because the deaths are unimportant, The death of Israel is far more important than any number of civilian casualties. That is why they aren't hiding in the open, cause world condemnation of Israel can only be achieved with a decent body count. The higher the body count the better for Hezbollah. Why can you not see this. Think about it this way, if Hezbollah can make Canadians see 50,000 scared frightened Canadians whimpering with fear and whining about how slow we are to save them because Israel is trying to kill them, how much sympathy will they drum up for their cause. Almost every interview that is broadcast talks about the poor people these frightened Canadians had to leave behind. The Israelis are coming, The Israelis are coming, so far this has been a huge publicity coup for the Hezbollah, a triumph in making the people who started the war look like victims. But Hezbollah gathered 11,000 missiles, and purposely went to Israel and murdered 8 people and kidnapped 2 others.They knew this would cause a war, and if it didn't they would do it again. They started a war they knew they would devastate Lebanon. They wanted a war that would devastate Lebanon. They needed a war that would devastate Lebanon. Because the Lebanese Government threw the Syrians out of Lebanon, and were trying to figure out how to get rid of Hezbollah, and now the Lebanese Army is going to have to fight side by side with Hezbollah to defend Lebanon. Machiavelli would be proud of such convoluted strategy....... It was worthy of a Borgia. Such simplicity, such perfection, and the World will fall for it. Politicians should be in awe.
