Hezbollah needs to decide whether they are their own government or part of the lebanese government. They can't be both at the same time.
I'm no big fan of our chimpanzee in chief Bush using Lebanon as some new front in his personal war against Iran, but at the same time I don't like to see Nasrallah using Lebanon as his personal warlord stomping grounds either.

Iran declared war about 20 yrs ago and the world has found it more PC to pretend they did not. They have proxy armies in Hez and Ham, yet you all still pretend that they don't. Why do you all do that? Iran is not strong or advanced and preaches hatred and death to the west, they are the epicentre of anti western hatred and yet the west still refuses to see them as the enemy. Could it be the oil?
Their country is a paper tiger, only fit to scare little children and keep their own servile population in awe. Sooner or later we will have to take action and I think when that time comes we should all remember that this was not an innocent nation, they choose this. When the time comes we should pay no heed to civilian casualties, just remember when they danced like monkeys at the death of our civilians and military. We will be tempted to fight them and avoid civ deaths, they have had no such qualms when killing us. Remember too that WW2 involved millions of civ deaths but that at its end the nations were defeated and accepted this. Smart weapons and avoidance of civ casualties win wars but not peace (see Iraq and Afghan). Populations are only cowed by massive punishments for their crimes..no one is innocent..only fools think otherwise. Iran should be punished in this way for the sake of world peace.
