Since the 2005 elections, Hizb'Allah controls at least
twenty-three seats in the 128-member Lebanese Parliament,
and has two ministers in the government, with a third is endorsed by the group.
With the bloc it forms with other groups, the "Resistance and Development Bloc",
the terrorists control circa 30% of the Lebanese gov't and current Cabinet.


So what "agenda" do you speak of?
And what proof do you have that "Israel has targeted and killed more Lebanese soldiers than Hezbollah terrorists"?

I'm watching FOX. They are showing live footage of Katushya rockets coming in to Baakai Valley (?) Anyway it's along the border.

Following the rocket fire, the Israelis have severl Howitzers set up and they are firing back, every ten or twelve minutes.

I'm thinking what could they be firing at?

Answer: I suspect that as soon as a Katushya is sent, the Israelis get a read on the location either via satellite, on the ground or whereever...and then they zero in on these guys.

This could last for a long time, but the bottom line is...the terrorists must be nuts!!!

Shiaa make up over 30% of the Lebanese population. Since the government of Lebanon is democratically elected (unlike most countries in the Middle East), of course Hezbollah ended with quite a few people in the government. However, Hezbollah is allied with Syria. Everyone who understands Lebanese politics have realized unanimously that the government of Lebanon overall is anti-Syrian. Therefore, using the fact that Hezbollah is represented in the government to trash the entire government would be as unfair as trashing the entire Iraqi government for having some people within it loyal to Muqtada al Sadr and even some Sunni insurgent groups.

Regardless, the Lebanese army has not been attacking Israel. Yet, they have been attacked. The Lebanese infrastructure has been destroyed, most of it has nothing to do with Hezbollah. Imagine if the US destroys the infrastructure of Columbia because they can't eradicate the drug cartels. Imagine if Canada destroyed everything around you because we couldn't stop illegal revolvers from getting into Toronto street (hold your disbelief about the capacity of the Canadian armed forces for a moment). Well, now you know how there's no longer any Lebanese with any soft spot for Israel. There used to be.
