You are a great American, JV.

The only way to defeat an Islamic enemy, is to crush their belief in Allah.

JV, you're Lebanese, right?

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Very well put jveritas. Good job.

Old rule: if the insurgent doesn't lose, he wins.

In a few months, they will be rearmed, replenished and rarin' to go.

And Israel?

[jveritas]

Right :)

Nice article!

[jeltz25]

great post. some much needed reality

There are a lot of simple minded, armchair Prime Ministers on Free Republic and around the world who disagree with you.

I am not one of them. I am sure there is more to this than meets the eye and a great deal we observers do not know. I also can't help but wonder if Israel had to divert its attention from Hezbullah to prepare for what is coming from another direction in the near future.

The Hezbollah claim to winning the war was predictable. Islamists turn mere survival into victory. They have to, that is all they can get.

"Israel Won"

Definitely.

Amigo, did you see the Lebanese President on FOX News? He was interviewed by FOX's war correspondent, GEN Shepherd Smith. Any way, the president is sure a Hizbullah butt kisser. I have believed for a long time that many Lebanese, Druze and Christians especially, but Sunnis too, want Hizbollah's power reigned in. What do you think of this backing for Hizbollah by the president and by Michael Aoun (spelling?)?

[HAL9000]

It's amazing how many people are willing to swallow Hezbollah's "victory" propaganda - hook, line and sinker.

Thanks so much for this, JV. It offers a fresh and thoughtful perspective, and accomplished a key goal: cheering me up!

[jveritas]

Thank you. Just telling what I see from my Lebanese experience and background.

[reagan_fanatic]

Thank You for your thoughtful and concise article.

[OldFriend]

Thank you sir. You spoke my mind.

I, too, feel so badly for the Lebanese people who worked so hard to restore their country only to have it undermined by these terrorists.

What did they win.......and what will the promised $10,000 do for families in the devestated area. NOTHING. Too bad our MSM is praising the efforts of hezbollah. What foolishness. Too bad our own so called right wing talkers are so uninformed.

[OldFriend]

And you believe that the devestation wrought by the Israeli's is going to be rebuilt in a few months? All the flattened houses, bridges, infrastructure will be rebuilt as tho nothing ever happened? What are you smoking. Think about what you are saying.
