14,000 missiles are an excellent idea when one is fighting someone with total air superiority and armed dominance on land and at sea. Those missiles constitute a feasible means of returning fire, and anyone in a war wants that, don't they? Israel has jets, artillery, tanks, and a navy. Why would you begrudge their opponents the use of missiles? Or is attacking people suddenly and by surprise, with lethal intent, only allowed and approved of if the targets are NOT Israelis (or Americans)?

Well, if you're pushing a certain self-serving propaganda line...yeah! Heh. That's exactly how propaganda works.

"You see, we're good, but they're evil. When we attack them, it's legitimate defence. When they attack us, it's terrorism."

That is the standard propaganda line of America and Israel...and of most of their opponents too!

Whole lotta hypocrisy goin' on out there...

It's a war, guys. In a war, everybody uses whatever weapons they are capable of arming themselves with. That's how it works. I'm sure that if Hezbollah had the means to meet Israel on equal terms, they would. As it is, they must use small arms and missiles. And they will, of course.
