C. Ham says, "Unfortunately, the Lebanese "police" have made no effort -- none at all, zero on a scale of one to ten -- to deal with the terrorists that are operating on their territory. And rather than deal with the terrorists on any level, they have legitimized them by bringing them to the Cabinet table."

Please read my post of 1:36.

Bush thought if he could push Syria out of Lebanon, that would be the end of it. The new government has hardly had a chance. What does Israel and the U.S. want, another puppet government or a democracy? Don't forget, without the social services provided by Hezbollah, the Lebanese people would be in dire straights. They see Hezbollah as a provider and protector. Who else will provide and protect the people of Lebanon? Israel had their chance and all they did was kill, maim and destroy.

If Israel had their heada on straight, they would be exchanging education, computers and jobs for weapons. Instead, it turns a blind eye to the number of assault rifles, etc. being sold to Hezbollah by American, Israeli and Russian arms dealers. Those that make a living off war (the arms dealers) are the ones who should be tried and convicted.

Whether you are an Israeli, Palestinian, Iraqi, or Lebanese and regardless of your politics or religion, there are people who will exploit all of you for profit. Guns and ammunition fuel these wars and there are plenty that walk away laughing with their pockets filled with gold.
