Most of the people are still shocked to see Israel react that way to the kidnapping of two of its soldiers since such actions have occured in the past without having Israel launch a war against Lebanon.
First of all, we need to understand what is happening in Israel right now. Sharon was always moderate compared to the generals that surrounded him ( specially Shaoul Mofaz) that were for launching a war. Now Sharon is absent and Olmart knows the solutions Sharon tried in the past did not work out and not willing to lose the support of the generals, have given them a green light on starting a war.
Hizbullah knew that would be Israel’s reaction, since they already started a war 3 weeks ago against Palestine when one soldier was kidnapped and still made their move.
What might explain the Hizbullah timing is the nuclear file that is bothering Iran and the 1559 that is being sponsored by the government day after day making Hizbullah feel threatened, not to mention the pressure against Syria by the Americans.
Nasrallah definitly coordinated the timing of the kidnapping with Iran and Syria and knew that ll get the region into a regional war that no one would benefit from except Syria and Iran and that would harm the US and Israel politically and make them open a new front militarily.
Hizbullah has entered Lebanon into an endless destructive regional war which will only get uglier unless the party is disarmed very soon and the soldiers r given back. I totally blame them for the destruction and also blame Israel for the killing of civilians.
One party will come out as a loser from this war, Lebanon and the Lebanese people paying the price for the other’s wars.
Lets just pray that this will end as soon as possible with the least possible of victims and destruction.

hi, but i believe that hizballah did also this for another reason and that is to get syria involved again in the lebanese affairs. so that they- syrian gov.- will humilate us more and fulfill what “zee lion” had said about us being nothing without him. furthermore , they knew what they were doing coz they wanted to spoil the tourism season and unfortualty the succeded but the damages were even higher then the expected and their profits increased:s

I agree with you that Lebanon and its people will be the ones facing the agony of loss. Israeli forces are remaining true to their reputation by being overly-aggresive. However, I can’t fully put the blame on Israel because the fact is, although they are over-reacting, they are reacting in self-defense. Also Hizballah really does deserve what they are getting. They weren’t listening to the lebanese government. They weren’t listening to the UN (resolutions 1559 and 1680).
Hizballah should be ashamed of themselves because they are the ones who are embarassing us real Lebanese. This group will never fight for what is right for Lebanon, only for what is right for them. Greedy bastards.

Hi,
What is mentioned in the previous article is not totally logical. I can’t deny the Syrian and Iranian agenda in Lebanon. But this doesn’t mean that every time something bad happens in Lebanon, this argument would be our “emergency exit”. I don’t know why we are still ignoring the US-Israeli cruel intentions in Lebanon. This has been clearly pointed out by the very fast solution of Condoliza Rice’s solution of the New Middle East. It was impossible that such a well waived solution to be completed within less than one week. Let’s get out of the small boxe the whole world is trying to put us in and see the bigger picture in a better and more objective way. Let’s not forget that if Hizbulla was executing Iranian and/or Syrian plans, then they wouldn’t have sacrified their most valuable asset in life: Their Souls!!
