“When did Israel go stupid? I am Lebanese-American and I have always admired and supported Israel. The Israelis are intelligent, so why have they gone stupid now?
Why hold Lebanon responsible? It is Iran and Syria who are the muscle and the money behind Hezbollah. This is like Bush turning his head the other way while Iran and Syria build IEDs and funnel thugs into Iraq to kill American troops.”
Israel went “stupid” when their civilians started getting shelled, again.
If Lebanon isn’t in control of the PFLP terror camps in their midsts, then they should be grateful to Israel for taking them out.
Your argument is like Mahmoud Abbas and the PA’s claims that they don’t control Palestinian terror so Israel should not respond to terror and rocket attacks on its citizens. Too bad. Israel’s first responsibility is to protect its citizens.
What excuses would you accept if your family was being shelled?
You really missed the point I was making.
Iran and Syria are getting free passes by both Bush (relating to Iraq) and Israel (in regards to their terrorists attacks).
I don't argue the point that Israel should take out any terrorist camp in Lebanon--I agree. My complaint is that Syria and Iran feed Hezbollah (among others) and little is done against them. In Bush's case, Iran has built many of the IEDs that have killed a lot of our troops, and Syria is funneling thugs into Iraq--again, Bush is not taking effective action to put a hurt on those two for doing that. That is my point that "Bush and Israel continue to give Iran and Syria a free pass".
