What is Israel afraid of? After all they have nukes.

Right. Israel doesn't want to take on the rest of the ME so it demolishes Lebanon out of what, irritation? What does that say about the Israeli government? It can't reach Syria, it can't reach Iran but it will yammer endlessly about both in public. What exactly about what they're doing to Lebanon solves the problem with Syria and/or Iran? What a strange and ugly scenario. They really have been spending way too much time with the Bushies. Dubya still hasn't caught OBL or any of the real perpetrators of 911 but he has created hell-on-earth in a country formerly known as Iraq. Israel has given up trying to kill Hezbollah but they have created hell-on-earth in a significant part of Lebanon...and made a bunch of their own citizens flee as well. What kind of bizarre misunderstandings are these? On top of the human-created human-misery, it's becoming abundantly clear to the entire world that a big and expensive military isn't worth the price tag. What's up with that and how dangerous will that be in the future? Nuts.
