Subject: RE: BS: Hezbollah message to Israeli Arabs
Problem is, the rockets are mobile & ten seconds after they're launched, the Hezbollah folks are nowhere near the launch point, leaving only civilians to be killed by massive retaliation.

And the Israelis- unless they're complete idiots- know this.

And unless they're complete idiots, they also know that "strategic bombing" in these sorts of situations ALWAYS kills vastly more civilians than combatants- witness the "success" of this approach in Viet Nam and Cambodia.

Nobody's hands are clean in this current cluster-fu$k.
