The US State department along with the UN and Israel have been pressuring Lebanon for years to turn out the Hezbollah terrorist cells which operate safely within it's borders and receives funding from Syria and Iran. Lebanon's own armed forces have many that are Hezbollah loyalists that will not tow the party line for fear of risking another bloody civil war.
The fact that we STILL do not see the Lebanese government raiding the cities themselves to turn these terrorist ragheads in to me is very telling. They'll continue to whimper and plea for the U.N. and international community to mediate a cease fire but take no responsibility, even as their own cities are being leveled with missles and bombs.
I do feel badly for the poor souls caught in the crossfire and the innocent loss of life but I also cannot believe that the citizens of Lebanon are not taking to arms and dragging their current government through the streets to turn out these terrorist cells operating within their country.
Israel has had enough. I do not support all of what I am seeing and reading but at the same time, I have to admit that I have a small part of me that is admiring the hell out of their response. One way or another, these ragheads are going to get turned-out.
Personally, I'd like to see this same type of response (perhaps more extreme) levied against Syria as well as the foremost terrorist recruiter, supplier, and financier in the world.
People have been putting up with two much crap for far too long. Somebofy else coined it and I have to agree-you haven't seen Japan start any trouble in a long time, have you?
