Here's the deal. Hizbolla shoots off 4000 rockets and kills 10 israelis and mostly arabs to boot, while trying to kill thousands of Jews. This is the real reason why syl and sarmac moan and groan--its not that there are dead lebanese, its really that there are not enough dead Jews. Go to the sarman/syl www.jewwatch.com site and with their moronic librarian leader, see what they really believe. If i were hizbolla, i would start targeting syria and iran for selling me that left over WW2 garbage.

I keep asking Nadine this question and, unless I've missed, I don't believe I've received an answer. Israel says flatly that this is Iran and Syria's fight so why doesn't Israel attack Iran and Syria? What exactly are they waiting for as civilian casualties and the destruction of infrastructure and the condemnation of other countries doesn't concern them. If you've defined your enemy then why push the US into putzing around in Iraq creating regional instability and hell-on-earth? Why putz around in Lebanon doing the same thing? Why is Israel not going to where it places all of the blame? WHy?

<Just how do you expect Israel to fight hezbollah?> Here is the deal: The war we are fighting cannot be won on the battlefield. The US and Israel have decided that the battlefield is the only place they are willing to engage the world. So the US and Israel are destined to lose again and again and again -- for the rest of your life and mine, no matter how many die on either side and no matter how much money we spend. I repeat --- we cannot win on the battlefield, and every time we try we harm ourselves far more than we help ourselves and we glorify and strengthen our enemies. We are losing this war because we are stupid.
