"Thus Hizbolah has the obligation to fight the war on Israels terms. Had there been 20,000 Jewish deaths in Israel, this war might have been won."

Thats the point Mike, they would have if they could have. Good think katushas cant be aimed very accurately.

PS That was the best golf i have ever seen from Tiger. He is older and more mature now and this run can last for years. When does he get to 18 majors. I am saying three years or so.

Israel shows no sign of any concern for casualties that are not Jewish. Thus Hizbolah has the obligation to fight the war on Israels terms. Had there been 20,000 Jewish deaths in Israel, this war might have been won

Well if they hadn't been concerned with casualties the Israelis could have used conventional bombs that fall wherever they may instead of using selective targeting. Raising the Body count was the cheaper, easier alternative, and with less expensive bombs they could have dropped far more for the same buck. They could have save a lot of fuel by not trying to warn civilians as well. Hizbollah OTOH hand the bomb shelters and the mass evacuation by the Israeli Government..... Did anyone mention Hizbollah evacuating the poor, elderly and women and children so that they were safe in the far part of Lebanon? It maybe that Hezbollah did purposely raise the body count, but the body count they wanted raised was Lebanese.
