Lessons in Lebanon!

What sort of war has the Israeli armed forces learnt?
It seems to me they have become expert at waging war on civilians with their targetting of houses,apartment blocks, bridges,fuel depots,power stations,ambulances,schools,hospitals,petrol stations and car convoys.

In fact this Israeli army seems to have learnt its terror tactics from the nazis in the second world war and the Shock And Awe invasion of Iraq three years ago.

Israel has certainly lost the friendship or respect of many around the world.The sight of all the children maimed by blast,shrapnel and cluster bombs has been quite appalling.

But the Israeli invasion seems to be in some trouble.It has not won the quick victory it expected and seems to be outthought and outfought by an enemy who is numerically inferior and weapons inferior.

Many of the Hezbollah fighters would have been relatives of those killed by the Israelis in the last invasion or perhaps imprisoned and tortured under Israeli direction at the notorious Al Khaim prison run by Isrea's allies.The Hezbollah is proving a tough nut to crack and a poll in Lebanon this week has shown that a huge majority of its christian and muslim population believe Hezbollah to be a legitimate resistance force fighting off the invader. People are flocking to join to seek revenge for the bombing and shelling and missile fire.

Israel is entering a quamire and to quote a Pete Seeger song "The damn fool kept yelling go on!"
