Subject: RE: BS: Is Hezbollah Winning?
Hezbollah winning? Maybe not but they sure did stand up to the big guns.

It wasn't quite as quick and easy as Israel predicted and now Israel is experiencing a bad case of hubris.

Israel boasted about their might but were not as mighty as they thought. They have had to change their story several times in an attempt to save face. Were they ever concerned about the kidnapped Israeli soldiers? Very unlikely. The soldiers aren't even a part of the ceasefire.

In terms of civilian losses, yes, Israel has won. They killed 10 Lebanese civilians for every Israeli citizen that was killed. Give Israel a big round of applause. They are definitely the most lethal if thats how you determine a winner.

In the long run, Israel has lost. Anti-Israel sentiment is growing stronger every day. People are openly critical of Israel and call them butchers. This does not bode well for their citizens. How can you be proud of your nation when you are overwhelmed by guilt and shame.

Israel and the U.S. are big bullies with no respect for human life.

So much for defending us from terrorism.
