>Hezbollah and Hamas are not lethal to Israeli citizens? Please Evan.

I didn't say that. They are not a threat to the existence of Israel.

I despise Hamas and Israel, but if they had the money for better equipment they would probably attack military targets.

We are back to the pre-emptive argument.

Woah there buddy, we can't start agreeing on things. :-D

>I'm sorry for the civilians on both sides. No one is right in this mess. Like Dragan said, everyone only remembers the last punch.

The Lebanese government has to assert political, social and military authority in the south. Israel has to quit proving that it is strong. We all know that.
