		<description>Get this then, every leader out there are jerk-offs with there own personal motive to destroy one another to have ultimate power.

The problem in the middle east is there is too many leaders.  To Zionist, give back Palestine because it&#039;s there country for 1000s of years, your not special enough in gods eyes to take what isn&#039;t yours, grow up. we are all gods people not just you so stfu. Everyone just chill out help each other raise your kids right stop brainwashing them...Life isn&#039;t fair we all suffered and will continue to suffer until death (regardless of race religion or sex) where we will all be at peace. Any politician who believes in taking a human life is evil, any man supporting them is out of fear. everyone grow some balls, shake hands talk things out. Everyone go home and read your torah ,bible, Qu&#039;ran. God bless everyone.</description>

		<description>You quote FaiLaSooF blog as an &quot;evidence&quot; that the number of civilian casualties is &quot;minimal&quot;.

In the same post, he quotes you (http://failasoof.blogspot.com/2007/05/to-all-who-accuse-lebanese-army-of.html) as an &quot;evidence&quot; that the Lebanese Army is not making Palestinian refugees &quot;suffer more&quot;.

I don&#039;t get it.</description>

		<description>Just a quick clarification request.  There are two situations.

1) Local population supports militant group while it launches unprovoked attack on a larger power.
2) Local population does not support militant group while it launches unprovoked attack on a larger power.

So, you claim that, if the situation is #2, then it is acceptable to attack the civilian population, but not in case #1?

So, in other words, Israel should have bombed the Sunni&#039;s but not the Shiites?

I don&#039;t get it.</description>

&quot;Those four all have one thing in common.They&#039;ve all have been involved with international terrorism since the 1970&quot;

They feed on hatred. They say they love death. Well, I wish them a speedy one.</description>

		<description>Just for the record, Ibn Kais and I are not related! Our Kais is only 9 months old so &quot;ibn&quot; would be impossible. But I find that Ibn Kais and I have similar views :)</description>

		<description>&lt;i&gt;and both armies were shelling hideouts filled with civilians&lt;/i&gt;

&lt;i&gt;During the July war, Hezbollah fighters were hiding among people who love, support and protect them.&lt;/i&gt;

This is not true.  Hezbollah usally fights in bunkers in outlying areas  Even the IDF has acknowledged &lt;a href=&quot;http://hotzone.yahoo.com/b/hotzone/blogs8398&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;this&lt;/a&gt;:

&quot;[IDF Major Mori] Taylor says the one tactical area where the IDF has been particularly effective is also the area where they&#039;ve been the most criticized: Attacks on villages where they believe Hezbollah supplies are stockpiled.

The villages are used as logistic bases,&quot; he says, &quot;but they usually fight from bunkers in outlying areas. They have tunnel systems with camouflaged entry points where they can enter in one place and exit somewhere else. We&#039;ve been fairly successful at cutting off the supplies from the villages, which forces them to come out eventually.&quot;</description>

		<description>Shit,id be an idiot if i replied to ppl like merhi,but i couldnt help pointing out the fact that Hassounas 1001 rockets hit Haifa,maybe the most liberal,and tolerant,community in isreal.That would be last place you would target,and the sad thing was that the victims were Arabs,innocent civilian bystanders.Hassouna is not defending Lebanon,he is defending a romantic ideal that he believes in.Good for him,but not when you drag a whole population against their wishes into the pits of hell.</description>

		<description>I suggest the principal difference is that the author doesn&#039;t care about the innocents who are now dying... Otherwise the language justifying military power against overwhelmingly civilian areas could have come straight from the IDF&#039;s defending-the-indefensible handbook.

Shame on you.</description>

		<description>To Mr Beirut Spring:

&quot;After all, both Armies were responding to an unprovoked terrorist attack&quot;

Really, so Hezbollah is a terrorsit organisation, and sunnis are welcoming palestinians into their homes?

You lying, hypocritical, ungrateful!

It only proves that your on the Saudi/US/Israeli payroll when you call Hezbollah a terrorist organisation. Please explain how HA kidnapping two occupying SOLDIERS is terrorism - terrorism is when you target civilians! not soldiers dumb ass! (and when if ever has HA engaged in terroist attacks?)

Dont forhet this is the RESISTANCE movement that defaeted israel (while your admired sunni armies comibined lost in 6 days - says a lot does it not?)  and sacrficed their sons defending lebanon, yet did not ask for anything in return, as it knows it does not get anything from traitiors like your leaders Hariri who fled like a 10 year old girl to his pussy masters in Sausi arabia who like women got scared when the hero Saddam tried to set things staright), fatfat who served tea, and sinoira who like a gril cried while the arab laughed at him and supported Hezbollah!

So I guess the sunnis in iraq attacking american soldiers are terrosits are they? or does your venom, as always, apply to shia?). Your jealousy of HA is unbelievabe, but let me tell you, all the shiah, chrsitians and druze (inlcuding the 100 jewish families probably left) in lebanon are laughing that a group Hariri brought in to lebanon under the delusional belief that it can counter-balaance the srongest resistance movement in the middle-east, that has never once attacked the lebanese army and actaully praises it, and does challange it (considering your scumful jealous leaders created the sctarian ISF to cpunter HA - keep trying losers, you&#039;ll get smashed in a day).

So now we have inncent leb soldiers and palestinians dying beacuse jealous Hariri-type sunnis wanted a wahabbi movmeent, that beheads people (and five lebanmese soldiers) and denies girls go to school,  all for the ske to challeng the shia and turn lebanon into iraq, and now theres a battle thats a trap for HA, but the unloyal sheep go bob a sunni and christian district (i am sure Gaegae is happy one of his supporters is dead from the same people whom Hariri brought into beirut and burnt their church....)

And please, when i talked to a palestinian in Burg al Burajneh yesterday, they told me the people of tripoli under Hariri control actual;ly helped the army fire at innceont civilians, and called Nahr al bared &#039;israel&#039;, while calling the civilians &#039;jews&#039; - no wonder there is anger at hariri (and promises of revenge)

And you wonder why palestinains support syria. iran and hezbollah

Ah well, hariri has played with fire and is now having his hands burnt, amnd innocewnt sunni soldeirs and one covilans have died, apart from dozens of sunni palestinians, but of course mustafa and the rest of the sheep of the Future movement so as they told like animals.

And of course, all the angry jihadis of the world will now (as Jund al sham did just yesterday on their webiste) threaten all of lebanon and primarli its tourst industries, and will now cravefor disloyal Harir;s blood

True when honourable Karami said the future movemnment is a moevment of just &#039;youths&#039;!</description>
