So Israel is supposed to censor its people's right to hold beliefs and proclamations, even if they are radical and belligerent?? Neandrathal. A couple of posts ago you wanted to confront the radicals. Now that boils down to censorship of the council by Israel. That of course is a false choice. An armed militia that has continuously refused to disarm, possesses more advanced FOREIGN missile technology than the the Lebanese army, which will not stop involving the people of Lebanon in its own personal grudge match against Israel is NOT undermining Lebanon?? Wake up and smell the roses. Hezbollah is more than a terrorist organization. And ESPECIALLY if such weaponry rendered the military forces of the duly elected government incapable of disarming that group. The Lebanese government has quite aptly demonstrated they are a bunch of wusses. All they've done about the Israel incursion is make phone calls and go to meetings. That's the government the US and Israel supports. A bunch of eunuchs. My point was that Israel, nor any other truly democratic soveriegn country, would tolerate an armed militia engaging in its own violent foreign policy from its sovereign territory. Playing the violin. Tell it to Iraq and Afghanistan. Hizbullah will always exist, I have no doubt about that. But they MUST ABIDE by the laws of the duly elected government of Lebanon and IT MUST SUBMIT to the sovereign authority for the government of Lebanon to maintain a MONOPOLY on the use of armed force against threats, internal and foreign. And that is going to happen ONLY when Hezbollah wants it to happen. jttmab
