[QUOTE]Originally posted by Wraith: [QB] I said 'at least' passive support. Obviously, the level of support varies. The majority of Shi'a Muslims in the area support Hezbollah to a certain extant and there are many for whom that support no doubt extends to active assisstance. However, the Christian community (about 40 per cent of Lebanese) is substantially less fond of Hezbollah. Sunni Muslim opinion appears to vary; many in the south are of course at least passive supporters due to the services provided by Hezbollah that the government can't. One of the reasons for the relatively high civilian body count is that most Hexbollah facilities are located in civilian buildings and area. You have to remember as well the reason why Hezbollah are so strong: Syria and Iran. Hezbollah are effectively an extension of the Iranian Revolutionary Gurad. Not as easy to dislodge as the Syrian army, particularly given the facilities and services provided by Hezbollah. It all comes down to what we were saying about aid money above. If people think they are getting a benefit from a particular country or organisation, they are going to support it. Oh, and you cannot [i]ever[/i] say to terrorist groups that they are in a war with you. Ever. The provos always claim that they are soldiers, no different from our lads. Terrorists are terrorists. They are not soldiers. Isreal is saying that this is an action against Hezbollah, not Lebanon (note the lack of operations against the Lebanese armed forces). [/QB][/QUOTE]
