Yep. Israel is the useful idiot loudly proclaiming that it was going to get rid of Hezbollah and then, a week or so later, deciding that it really wasn't going to do that but it was going to continue to demolish Lebanon...in order to save Lebanon.

Sounds like Vietnam and Iraq logic all over again.

"somebody who can be used in the enemy country( in this case Hezbolla / Iran rulers consider USA as an enemy) for PR purposes
called Useful Idiot"

That makes the Israeli leadership "Useful Idiots" for Hezbollah. The Hezbo's put a rocket launcher next to a shelter full of women and children and the Israelis, the useful idiots, obligingly commit a massacre. Everything Israel has done has worked FOR the Hezbo PR machine.

It takes two to tango. Hezbollah gets only HALF the blame.
