I know it's cold hearted but I have to give props to Israel. At least they are really following through on this whole battle with Hizbollah instead of just using big talk then not really coming to the battlefield. Yes innocents are suffering. That is going to happen in war. That is going to happen in life. These crazy terrorist must be wiped out. They are like cancer. The only way to really get rid of cancer, if you can at all, is to kill the cancer and some of the healthy cells around the cancerous ones, just to make sure. Cancer cells are tricky and subvert, it is hard to isolate them.
Even under world condemnation Israel is sticking to what they started, while some other leaders falter at polling info. The Bush administration came out with a very cavelier attitude about terrorist and destroying them. Yet we are not merciless in our attacks like Israel is in theirs. I bet they win their war quicker than we do.
Also, why does Bush think that Syria will stop the Hizbollah? Really? They want them to fight. They are instigating!!!! Syria and Iran both are supporters of terrorism so why would anyone think they would fall to the side of diplomacy? They want the war to continue. I think they know that when the basic infrastructure of the entire region is destroyed and the West pulls out, which we will probably before we should, then the radical Islamist will be able to fall in and dominate over the whole region with an iron fist. People will be desparate for food, water, medicine. They will listen to who ever can promise help. Even if it is crazy radicals.
Then in another 20 years, after we've rearmed them, we can have another war just like the one we are in now!!!
