Forgive me,

As much as Israel deserves a defeat against an oppressed people who have been reduced to using terrorism, as opposed to either starving to death or having their entire live's controlled by a foreign occupier (who's callous oppression of others is incredibly hypocritical), there is no way that what happened in Lebanon was what is referred to by the Hezbollah as a divine victory.

I saw the carnage caused in Lebanon and it's a total disgrace what Israel did to civilian infrastructure (not including the 4,000,000 cluster munitions dropped in the South). Mearsheimer and Walt described Israel's shady conduct fairly accurately when they mentioned and I'm paraphrasing, that Israel delayed going after Hezbollah to reap destruction on the civilian population. Let's see through the canon fodder that has perforated down through the media and admit that Israel was begging for an excuse to undo the humiliation that they received from their forced retreat from the south in 2000.

Do you honestly think that with all of Israel's intelligence capabilities, all of it's resources and with the congress in America at it's desposable it couldn't have blasted Hezbollah's infrastructure into last century, not withstanding that it could have destroyed the entire movement if it wanted to??? please……..It had absolutely nothing to do with defeating Hezbollah. It is in Israel's (public relations) interest that the region remain in chaos and that Israel has enemies that want to destory it. This gives Israel an excuse to continue it's colonization of the West Bank and the seige in Gaza. It is also used as a tool to mobilize the Diaspora community reinforcing the sacred myth that Israel holds so close to it's heart "Total Annihilation"     

If Israel could destroy it's enemies which it could do tomorrow and has had the chance in the past, there would be no excuse for war, unrest, nuclear weapons, it's oppression of "the terrorists" and the list of the victim state can go on and on and on.

Everything is carefully planned.
