Anyone watching CNN would think Israel is the most evil, horrible group of people on the planet...

But Israel adopts a response that does not correspond with self-defense, Just how do you expect Israel to fight hezbollah? H are the ones firing rockets and missles amid the civilian (if there are any at this point) populous. H makes their outposts within spitting distance of UN outposts, next to hospitals, schools, from atop apartment buildings etc. Israel has done everything it could to minimize noncombatant killings. hezbollah has done everything in can to maximize noncombatant killings. Let's try some common sense here. I don't know about you but, if I was living in a Lebanese town where Israelis were dropping letters saying they were going to bomb so leave, I'd get the hell out of dodge that very minute reguardless of the risk. The Lebanese allow the hezbollah to place these weapons amid their population centers. Now I don't know about you, but if I was Lebanese, even if I had prohezbollah leanings, I'd do my best to get their weapons out of my neighborhood in order to protect my hood and family period. If I couldn't get them out, I'd leave. You wouldn't catch me anywhere near anything that looked like it was being used by the hezbollah.
