How?! How exactly were they supposed to do this with a Syrian controlled government in place that was systematically raping and pillaging their country? How were they supposed to do this with no weapons and no militias? How were they supposed to do this when all of their militia leaders and soldiers either disappeared in Syrian prisons or were forced into exile?
And even if Lebanon had a well-armed and operational army, it still would be very difficult to get Hezbollah out. Israel has been trying to do that for the last 18 years! And lest we all forget, this isn't the first bombing offensive Israel has launched to get rid of Hezbollah. Remember 1996 and Operation Grapes of Wrath? And dont forget about Operation Accountability in 1993. That one was a seven day strike to remove Hezbollah. Needless to say, that one didn't work out either.
Thank you!, GipperGal, for the history lesson!
So, then in answer to my question, do you think the Israelis are uncivilized, I take it that the answer from you two ladies is, "yes"?
