[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] So what? [QUOTE]Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert, like his general, pointed the finger at Lebanon, not just Hezbollah. The raid was "not a terror attack, but an operation of a sovereign state without any reason or provocation," he said. "The Lebanese government, which Hezbollah is part of, is trying to undermine the stability of the region, and the Lebanese government will be responsible for the consequences." Hezbollah, which enjoys substantial backing from Syria and Iran, is considered a terrorist organization by the United States and Israel. The group holds posts in Lebanon's government. [/QUOTE]Hezbollah uses Lebanese military equipment and intel to carry out their operations- any foreign power would [i]have[/i] to treat them as part of Lebanon. Britan and the US certainly would, if attacked by Hezbollah. Israel's restraint is in not attacking Syria and Iran (despite the known ties) but in only attacking the people most directly responsible. Sucks to be the adverage Lebanese person, but you get the government you vote for (or is it the government you tolerate to rule over you in this case?). If enough Lebanese people called for the release of the Israeli prisoners, it might just happen. Hezbollah cant afford to alienate [i]everyone[/i]...can it? [/QB][/QUOTE]
