Oh what the heck happened in Lebanon? Twice. Something that doesn't vaguely resemble what someone committed to the destruction of a nation would do. 1st time they pulled back to the south, the 2nd they accepted a ceasefire after a short time. In neither case did they attempt to destroy Lebanon's government, let alone commit genocide or ethnic cleansing against the inhabitants.

Sarman, You really need to grow up. Your illogic on this argument with Hawk and Tim is painfully clear. Do you seriously believe Israel ever waged a war of extermination against the arab nation of over 100mm? Israels wars are for the most part fought for survival. Hawk says Hizbolla must be disarmed now or the UN will be responsible for a future wider mideast war. I say that hizbolla can delay disarming but what they and Iran must do is change course from the rejectionist path they are on and play a positive role in settling border issues for lebanon, syria and palestine. A comprehensive peace is called for. The mideast cannot afford twin terror nexus. Iran more than any other nation must decide whether they want to gloat about lebanon and use a stick in the eye mentality against the US in iraq, both for short term gain. They also must decide whether they really want to challenge the west on nukes.
