Amazingly, Hezbollah, a 'tarist organizashun' has now become a government. It engages in 'war' with a nation and is part of ceasefire negotiations. Gee. As if it wasn't enough that the Republicans inflated AQ to the role of WWIII major combatant, now Israel has inflated Hezbollah to the role of neighboring nation. Also gee. Whose side are people on anyway?

Of course, if one Mr. Hassan Fadlallah had a brain in is skull, he would tell Amnesty International that Hezbullah would happily exchange all of there unguided rockets for ones with GPS guidance, even being willing to take a 10-20% hit in warhead size as part of the bargain, and henceforth, would be in a much better position to comply with the applicable treaties. Think he would get any takers? Cool! Then we'd see some real destruction. Not this namby pamby haphazard stuff.

if one Mr. Hassan Fadlallah had a brain in is skull, he would tell Amnesty International that Hezbullah would happily exchange all of there unguided rockets for ones with GPS guidance, You mean Nasrallah? Actually, he could have "covered his @ss" by merely stating that Hizbullah was firing at military targets and that all civilian in targeted cities should leave the battlefield. But he only told the Israelis ARABS to leave. Thus, he held himself legally vulnerable to be declared a war criminal. It would have been far more difficult to present a "beyond a reasonable doubt" style of case against him.. Nasrallah eliminated any opportunity to claim that Hizbullah rocket attack were strategic attacks against military targets.. But we know that indictments for war crimes are politically motivated and there's no way in hell that Nasrallah is going to be brought up on such charges. Hawk
