Hizbullah has become more dangerous not because of their success but because of their failure. 4000 rockets and what 10 casualties?? This is what upsets the syls of the world--the unfairness of the casualty numbers. Well as you say it make take a chemical warhead to change the balance or more accurate and longer range rockets. In any case, folks who think this war is hell on earth aint seen nothing if either or both of these hizbolla upgrades occur. And you are spot on, on the complicity of our so-called friends in lebanon. They have been playing a dirty game here by acceding to hizbolla demands and now blaming israel for what has befallen them. Cant we ever find a reputable arab regime or is that just an oxymoron?

Just think.. all it takes is one chemical weapon fitted into the warhead of one of those rockets and Hizbullah will unleash a massive counter-response by Israel.
So what you are saying here is that Lebanon is not seeing the full power of Israel yet and that Israel is a bully in sheep clothing. That is exactly what I have been saying for ages. Israel keeps saying that "the Arab are going to kill us" which in realty the Arabs are the ones that are being terrorized by the nukes and the "high precision" weapons that Israel have.
However, the bully has been exposed.

>>>against Israel, who has no right to defend themselves

Are you that obtuse? All this started because Israel did not want to do a prisoner swap of the thousands they have in their gulags for 2 of their soldiers. Instead, 51 of their soldiers are now dead along with 800+ innocent women and children. And last I looked it was Israel that was fighting an offensive war and Hezbollah a defensive one. Cause I certainly don't see any Hezbollah fighters in Israel but I see plenty in Lebanon. So cut the BS, lies and hypocrisy. The whole world has seen through the Israeli lies, propaganda and war crimes.
