Keep in mind who is setting up roadblocks to keep civilians in combat zones. Keep in mind who is hiding rockets inside civilian structures, making them legitimate targets. Keep in mind who started the war.

Israel has murdered over 300 Lebaneses so far – with less than a dozen being members of Hezballah. They have targeted the infrastructure of Lebanon, not of Hezballah in particular – they were quite upfront about this from day one – claiming that the taking of their soldiers was an act of war by Lebanon – thus Lebanon itself is their “justified’ target. They have bombed airports, roads, power plants, apartment buildings, milk processing factories etc. etc.

You can bomb all the buildings and try to kill the leaders, but the party is an organic, grassroots entity that lives in the hearts of its members. What you are talking about is ejecting the southern Lebanese. And, as I pointed out to you a few days ago, the Israelis couldnt do that in 18 years of militarily occupying the area – in fact they made the resistance stronger.

Did you see that little piece in Drudge last night where the Lebanese defense minister supposedly said that if the Israelis send in ground troops, that the Lebanese Army would join up with Hezballah to defend the homeland?
