Scandium,

I do not applaude this fighting. Get that into your head: i do not applaude it, and I do not like it, but I see no alternative. Since the beginning of the second intifada, more than 1100 Israelis civilians had been murdered by missiles and suicide bombers, the overwhelming majoirty by the latter. Israel is suffering from ongoing massive terror on a regular basis for years - this is the reason why finally, after having had patience for years, they take the two missing soldiers as an excuse now to finally, FINALLY, reach out with all force and power. They also do not want to negotiate with those that are responsible for the massmurder amongst Israelis in recent years.

I do not like all this, but I see no alternative to fighting when fighting is force upon you by an enemy without moral standards and ethical founded self-restrictions, but who is cynical enough to hide himself within civilian structures in the hope that this would prevent his opponent to shoot at him. This time this enemy obviously has been wrong. the Lebanese are suffering because of Hizbollah's ignorrance for their vital interests, and Iran's and Syria's desinterest as well.
