On American TV, former Israeli prime minister Binyamin Netanyahu says the ruination of Lebanon is Hezbollah's doing. But is it Hezbollah that is using U.S.-built F-16s, with precision-guided bombs and 155-mm artillery pieces to wreak death and devastation on Lebanon? No, Israel is doing this with the blessing and without a peep of protest from President Bush. And we wonder why they hate us. . .

So, let me get this straight, Pat.

It is perfectly acceptable to have Hezbollah turn southern Lebanon into a firebase from which to lob hundreds of rockets into Israel but it is not acceptable for Israel to attack Hezbollah because Hezbollah is in Lebanon?

Pat, you are either a demagogue or an idiot.

My guess - both.

I am sorry for the Lebanese people but it seems to be turning out that they are harboring terrorists. They evidently are on the terrorists side now that the shooting has started in earnest. So there it is. It's war. The terrorists are deliberately firing on Jewish civilians. Let the Lebanese people chew on that for a while.

News flash to the civilian Lebanese: Hezbolla is trying to kill civilian Jews!!! They don't want to die any more than you do. What are they supposed to do? Die so you can live. Why don't you die so they can live!!
