Michael, I disagree with you. You are living in a delusion of grandeur with Nadine, that Israel won a war against a very strong opponent!!! Hezbollah is indeed supplied by Iran, but the weapons supplied are "light" (for now), if you noticed not many of the rockets launched by Hezbollah were able to hit targets in Israel, they detonated in places where there was minimal population sites. They were RANDOM strikes, like throwing a rock over a wall and having it land wherever it dropped. How many hundreds of rockets went into Israel and hit a target?????? They lobbed HUNDREDS of rockets and I don't even think a hundred Israelis were killed - now that's the kind of opponent the US would like in Iraq and the war would be over. You should hope that all the Arabs had those kinds of weapons, Israel would not need a defense force. Now let's get to Syria. Yes they have precise "rockets" (unlike Hezbollah) supplied by Russia that can hit pre-selected targets, they don't have to send 100 random rockets hoping for a strike. All they need are 10, and even if 7 are intercepted, the 3 that land in Israel can cause catastrophic damage due to hitting pre-selected well populated targets. Additionally, Syria has a sizeable biological weapons cache, probably the greatest in the Arab world. If Syria thought they were going down, you can be assured those weapons would pour like rain all over Israel and also be dumped into the rivers that flow from Damascaus down thru Lebanon and into Israel. Now what Syria can do vis-a-vis Hez, is quite obvious, but................ I think you and Nadine were sucked into a black hole in space and isolated from reality.
