They're not a country, Peace, and they don't have a baseball bat. They have a rubber band and they shoot paper wads and paper clips with it in study hall...a paper clip stings like hell, but it does not do much damage unless it happens to hit someone in the eye.

They're bullies, yes...but their bullying capability falls so far short of that employed by the USA and Israel that it's not in the same league at all. Israel invaded Lebanon with a mechanized army and had an air force overhead. Did Hezbollah invade and occupy half of Israel? No. I'm sure they'd love to if they could, but they aren't armed well enough to do so.

That's my point. I agree with you about their attitude but not about their capability.
