Well I ask you all “HOW MANY INNOCENT CIVILIANS HAS HEZBOLLAH KILLED IN THE PAST AND CONTINUES TO DO SO? Its very sad to see civilians get killed by Israel in this current conflict but there is a little difference in intents here. Hezbollah has and continues to kill innocent civilians and other ciltures of the world by direct intention to do so to promote their world-wide expansionism for control whereas the Israelis have acted in self-defense after years of having their people killed by suicide bombers and Hezbollah planned attacks. Israel did what they could to promote a peaceful existence between the Palestinians by the withdrawals that they made to no avail. You cannot negociate with the terrorist mentality and mind set that recruits and trains its own children to become suicide bombers. WAKE UP AMERICA AND WAKE UP WORLD AND IDENTIFY THE TRUE ENEMY WORLDWIDE.

Jenin? Yeah, that was where at least 22 civilians were killed by the Israelis, and according to HRW, “Israeli forces committed serious violations of international humanitarian law, some amounting prima facie to war crimes.“
The Israelis aren’t making it any better this time around by killing more civilians (or UN blue helmets either). Hezbollah is simply a resistance movement, and it thrives on having something to resist. Tossing more gasoline on the fire isn’t gonna help.

I have the distinct feeling that Hezbollas’ military prowess is being wildly overstated. When the dust and fog of war recedes from this episode of the Lebanese civil war, I believe that history will show that they were just another bunch of muslim thugs with guns who got their clocks cleaned by Israel.
Their best weapon is propaganda, and we are seeing it in action now as the media buys the slicked-out version of “Baghdad Bob” being pumped out by Hezbolla. Remember the “Jenin Massacre”?

I don’t think Hezbollah added anything *new* to the mix, it appears knowledge has been bouncing around since the Muj expelled the Soviets from Afghanistan. We’ve had this cadre of skilled people around from the ‘90s…even if many died during the internicene fighting that led to the genesis of the Taliban, enough survived to provide tactical skills to AQ and other groups. Hezbollah may or may not have had people able to dip into this reservoir of experience, but I think it’s fair to say they’ve retained the lessons of fighting guerrilla war against the Israelis, during the 80’s and during the buffer zone years, in addition to whatever the Iranians were able to teach them.

I continue the discussion on my web site(www.captainsjournal.com, with “Moral Asymmetry in Warfare: Israel and Hezbollah”). It would appear to me that the Israelis have chosen the worst of all possible worlds: an intermediate response.

To answer a question with a question:
Didn’t the North Vietnamese use a similar strategy, coupling invasions by conventional military forces (with tanks and artillery) with rear-action forces by guerillas, some recruited from the South, but many infiltrated from the North, and all supplied by the North, intermingling with the population?
