[QUOTE]Originally posted by Jason Abbadon: [QB] Er...most reports I've seen show that Hezbollah has had and still has a LOT of support from the populace- it's not like Hezbollah are holding the general populace hostage, they're being [i]sheltered[/i] in southern Lebanon. The far more moderate Lebanese government is helpless to oust Hezbollah (or even omit them from elected positions in Parliment) because the government has only slightly more pull with the populace and in the southern region, [i]less[/i]. Has there been a war declared? Yes. Many [i]many[/i] times: By Hezbollah, [i]and[/i] the P.L.O.- just because the methods they use are not what we're used to in warfare, does not change the facts: they declared war, started hostilities, took prisoners, and vowed to [i]continue[/i] do do so untill their enemy were all [i]dead[/i]. Sounds pretty official to [i]me.[/i] Also, consider that Hezbolah has more of an organized army than many countries- these are not just bands of gurrellia fighters. And they're duly elected representitives of Lebanon. Spliting hairs on this is like saying "It's the Republicans that invaded Iraq- not the U.S.A." [i]In for a penny...[/i] If the [i]people[/i] of Lebanon really wanted Hezbolah gone, they could force them to disband- they got Syria to leave without anyone's help, and these [i]are[/i] their own countrymen after all. All that being said, the humanitarian crisis is going to get worse before it gets any better. :( [/QB][/QUOTE]
