Gotta be fair here, Hawk. They want to kill JEWS, not just anybody. Sheikh Nasrallah apologized for killing two Arab boys.

Yeah.. you got me there..

Okay.. they want to kill Jews, but they don't mind killing Muslims either, since the victims will receive the dubious honor of becoming martyrs... ;0)

You need to be fair too Nadine. I think if Hezbollah could just kill Israeli soldiers, that's what they would do, for the more postitive propoganda, if nothing else.

The CEP of the unguided rockets they are firing is probably a half a mile, depending on the range. So, they fire them at cities and towns, the only targets large enough to allow them to hit anything.

Don't forget the current bodycount:

Israelis: 32

Lebanese: 323

So, the "rain" of rockets doesn't seem nearly as effective as Israel's "hail" of precision American ordinance.
