"The Lebanese BETTER help Israel get rid of Hezbullah."
Why? It wasn't Hezbollah that attacked Lebanese infrastructure or killed Lebanese civilians!!! And if Israel has a right to defend itself why don't the Lebanese have the right?
"The Iraqi's talk about the U.S. being occupiers, then what in the Hell is Hezbullah?"
Hezbollah was home grown in Lebanon between 1982-1985. They are trained and most likely equipped by the Syrians and Iranians. But most Hezbollah members are probably Lebanese, so they like the Sunnis in Iraq are at home.
"The people claim they love Hezbullah as well (that is publicly); however, privately we are told they hate Hezbullah, want them out of the country, and want Lebanon to be left alone."
Hezbollah's role in the Israeli withdrawal from southern Lebanon gained the organization much respect within Lebanon and the wider Arab and Islamic world, particularly among the country's large Shi'a community
"After the 2005 elections, Hezbollah held 23 seats (up from eight previously) in the 128-member Lebanese Parliament. It also participated for the first time in the Lebanese government that was formed in July 2005. Hezbollah has two ministers in the government, and a third is Hezbollah-endorsed. It is primarily active in the Bekaa Valley, the southern suburbs of Beirut, and southern Lebanon."
For a group that is so hated that they gained 15 seats in the parliament, and hold 2 ministerial positions. I guess that's why the Republicans here are in the majority, because all those people really "hate" them.
"In spite of having a foot inside the government, Hezbollah has been frequently at odds with certain members of Fouad Siniora's cabinet and in early 2006 formed an alliance with Michel Aoun (a former critic of both Hezbollah and Syria) and the Free Patriotic Movement. This new Shiite-Christian alliance aims at creating a new majority outside the 14 March forces and is likely to provide the basis for Aoun's presidency when Emile Lahoud's term expires in 2007."
Now with this knowledge, we know why the Israelis have hit some Christian areas. Now what do you think about that? A Shiite-Christian alliance!!!!
One little bit of information about the innocent Israelis, and how they are just defending themselves:
"In June 2006, the Lebanese military arrested an alleged assassination squad led by former South Lebanese Army corporal Mahmoud Abu Rafeh. According to army statements, the cell was trained and supported by the Israeli Mossad and "used ... to carry out assigned assassinations in Lebanon." Among the killings attributed to the squad are those of Hezbollah officials Ali Saleh (2003) and Ali Hassan Dib (1999)."
So you see, neither side holds the high moral ground. They both have blood on their hands, besides how do you think the Israelis got the British to leave Palestine, it sure wasn't because they won the Cricket matches.
