It is sad and amazing how many political factions all over the Middle East are willing to wage all out war to win their cause, down to the life of the last innocent noncombatant they can get in the crosshairs. My sympathy level is headed south in a hurry, but that is nothing new for me with that region.

Some weird thinking going on there. Komati said Hezbollah captured the Israeli soldiers from a military area, but charged that Israelis had taken Hezbollah leaders from their homes at night. That's an odd venture into moral equivalence... He was adamant about Hezbollah's refusal to disarm because of what he said was Israeli occupation of Lebanese land, the "threat of Israeli aggression" and the Lebanese held in Israeli jails. It never occurred to him that the fighters could join the Lebanese army if they wanted to protect Lebanon from Israel? Sheesh.
