"Who is David and who is Goliath now?" I'm sorry Nadine - Hezbollah is STILL David, the underdog, against the IDF Goliath. Hezbollah may be better trained, better prepared and better armed than the hapless Pals, but they are still by far the lesser force, possessing NO tanks, air support, navy, intel satellites, NUKES or just sheer number of fighters. This portrayal of Hezbollah as an "army" is Israel's attempt to mitigate it's lack of success. I know you'd love for Israel to be considered the underdog "David" - but that's just not the situation. Hezbollah is the little David that's been thinking and practicing long and hard with his sling. The Pals and every group opposing Israel in the ME are watching and taking notes.
