They Are Not Making Any Jokes
Well now it is full scale war and it seems like Israel will plan to take land from Lebanon and use it as a buffer zone against future attacks. In this way rockets will not be able to reach Northern Israel. I wonder now, what will be the reaction of the other Middle East countries? So far, they are quiet.

Amazingly, the Arab League met after Israel responded to Hezbollah attacks. Syria, Lebanon, and Palestine brought up a resolution against Israel, trying to get all the Arab countries involved. Egypt, and even Saudi Arabia told them that they brought it upon themselves.
Most conservative commentators think that Iran told Hamas and Hezbollah to start this up in order to draw the attention of the G8 conference away from Iran. Iran expected Israel to just take it, as they have been taking the rocket attacks from Gaza. They didn't expect Israel to finally have had enough, and for so many countries to agree that Israel really is only defending itself.
Here in the US, even many of the hard-core leftists (who love to hate Israel) are supporting Israel.
Maybe Hezbollah has bitten off more than it can chew this time.

Nighthawk, you left out the famous words of Mr. Bolton. "How do you make peace with a terrorist?" Everything else you said was right on.

Israel has had several distinct acts of war carried out against it in the last few weeks. 1st, Hamas has been lobbing rockets into Israeli cities for the last few months. Then, in late June, early July, both Hamas and Hezbollah both tunnelled into Israeli territory and captured Israeli soldiers, while killing others. After that, Hezbollah began to fire rockets AND missiles into Israeli cities, into civilian neighborhoods.
What do you expect Israel to do? Just sit back and let Hezbollah fire all 13,000 missiles that they have gotten from Iran? How many thousands of Israeli citizens have to die before it is acceptable for Israel to defend itself?
Here are a couple of stories from today that apply to this topic:

SE Asian Muslims Say They Will Join Hizballah's Fight
| QUOTE |
| Muslims in Southeast Asia are protesting Israel's offensive against Hizballah, and in Indonesia, Islamists reportedly were registering as "volunteers" to travel to the region to fight against the Jewish state. |
| QUOTE |
| Despite growing international awareness about the dangers posed to Mideast stability by Hizballah, the European Union has yet to outlaw the group or move to block its funding. E.U. countries have not reached consensus on the matter, because some governments argue against treating as a terrorist group an organization that is involved in the Lebanese political system. An E.U. terrorism list names 27 organizations, some of which have not carried out attacks for many years. But Hizballah is omitted, even though a separate list of 26 terrorist individuals does name Hizballah second-in-command Imad Mugniyah, one of the FBI's most wanted men. |

Int'l Media Is Portraying Victim As Aggressor, Olmert Says
While this headline is provoking, the article doesn't address this issue at all. However, the article DOES contain a lot of very interesting information.
| QUOTE |
| Olmert asked both his German and French guests separately if their countries would tolerate rockets raining down on their cities. About one million Israelis have been virtually living in bomb shelters and security rooms in northern Israel for almost two weeks now. That would be like 7 million French or 12 million Germans, Olmert said. French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy had to duck into a residential building during a tour of Haifa on Sunday when an air raid siren sounded. |
