I was describing Lebanon without war. It would me nice to read the WHOLE message before answering out of context. Also, as I mentioned before, most American citizens are on vacation there as they have a lot of family back in Lebanon. Most of the population is not Hezbollah and most tourists don't even see them as they live in their own area. The best analogy to allow you to understand is this: Why do people live within close range of volcanos? Why do people live in California (despite everybody expecting "The BIG One") or Florida (hurricanes)? The answer is they are such wonderful places during the calm that most people don't think that they'll be there when bad things do happen. Even though bad things are expected to happen in the areas mentioned in my analogy, we as Americans still help evacuate people, we still declare areas to be disaster areas, and we do help our fellow citizens get back on their feet. This situation is no different.

I did read your entire post, but in reality, Lebanon will remain an Israeli target as long as they continue to support Islamofascist terrorists within their own borders. Your analogy of comparing Hezbollah to mother nature is like comparing apples to oranges. If I had my choice, I'd rather take my chances facing a hurricane or earthquake than being in the hands of Islamofascists. I like my head where it is, thank you very much.
