You seem a little confused, I'm not defending the actions of any of these groups, just seeking to explain the relationships and the complexity of the situation. Perhaps, if someone had explained the realities of the situation in the Middle East to Bush and his supporters they mightn't have blundered into Iraq and made such a right royal mess of it all. (That's a hell of a big 'if' though!)Originally Posted by DDT
It doesn't really matter about their personal squabbles with each other!!
They are all united in their cause to destroy Israel
their hate for USA and their love for the man Mohammed who raped his enemies wives. And that pretty mush somes up the kind of people you are spending valualble time defending.
The rockets are still flying over, if things were as simple as you suggest then why didn't Israel's massive campaigns in Lebanon in 1978 and 1982 not succeed in bringing peace and security to Israel's northern border? And if Israel couldn't crush Hezbollah in the 90s, what's changed now that would allow them to do it?Er......yes it is. They won't be able to launch rockets into Israel from South Lebabnon anymore.Duh!
In any case, Israel's response goes way beyond just attacking rocket launching sites and stockpiles, the wholesale destruction of Lebanon's infrastructure is threatening the very stability of the country, that's not going to make Israel any more secure.
Also, why did Israel agree to a prisoner swap with Hezbollah before? This set a precedent for this activity. If Israel refused such an arrangement then, it might make her insistence on no negotiations now a little easier to understand.
