  The ICG appears to understand many things. Above all, however, they understand that as an organization operating out of Beirut, there is only so much they can say without getting blown up. So their analysis is good in spots and entirely absent in others, and their specific recommendations don’t always jibe with their reasoning. You have to read in between the lines a little, I think.

  How is Hezbollahs Weapons any problem to the LEBANESE? I see it as a Problem for Israel.

  Now of course the intent is not to keep the weapons forever, and I doubt Hezbollah intends to keep the weapons forever (it would defy it’s purpose), but to ask the question, If Hezbollah is such a nuissance, why doesn’t Israel give up “So Little”:

  -There is about 3 Lebanese left in Israeli prison and we Have one Israeli with Hezbollah)

  - Shebaa farms and Ghanjar, two very small areas.

  - And to stop stealing Lebanese Waters.

  If Hezbollah is such a nuisance and a danger to Israel, want doesn’t it finally strike a deal with Hezbollah? Why dosen’t America push Israel to settle the 3 simple issues.

  Israel is Amerca’s B**ch, and not the other way around, the USA needs Israel to be in constant war.

  When the war of Summer of 2006, Israel was being humiliated on World TV, and recessed and then retreated several times while being bombed by 4000 missiles for the first time in Israels History, for what? Because America wanted the war to go on… And they Finally Stopped because Israel Begged America for there to be a settlement of 1701. 1701 is a pride for Hezbollah!

  Let it be clear, I am not for Hezbollah, but when it comes to Israel, I’m for Hezbollah all the way.

  I restate the 3 demands of Hezbollah:

  - Exchange of Lebanese/Israeli prisoners

  - Shebaa farms and Ghanjar, two very small areas.

  - And to stop stealing Lebanese Waters.

  - Make PEACE, not an agreement, but a full Peace, with our neighbors to the south, the State of Israel.

  And I would be the first to go against Hezbollah if it has any reason to keep its arms.

  Jester, the ICG report clearly states that when Hezbollah’s demands are fulfilled, the organization “evolves to stay relevant” - that is, it continues to justify its special status in Lebanon by increasing its demands upon others. That’s why “giving a little to Hezbollah” doesn’t help matters, but only builds the crisis within Lebanon further.
