And I doubt Israel will attack Lebanon - for no particular reason - again. I doubt that they will make a stupid mistake twice. I think Israel expected the Lebanese government to help them - at least morally, but instead they exposed condemnation for what Israel was doing (already from the start). If Israel gets no international bystanders in this matter but get international condemnation for every fart it lets go, i doubt they will help Lebanon. @Libanus, what makes you think that Hezbollah would have been finished with if Israel would have stuck to the south?

That changed everything. Had Israel not bombed anything North of Beirut, history would have been totally different, and maybe Hezbollah wouldn't exist anymore militarily-speaking. In hindsight, Israel owes Lebanon that they come back and finish the job they didn't finish. Otherwise, they will have another Iran on their borders. The longer they wait, the more difficult it will be, because the cancer is spreading. Suzanne,

People build deserts and work on them too hard to turn them into paradise. Our country is heaven on earth but some terrorists are turning it into hell, a deserted island. An island which is only occupied by selfish individuals pursuing their obstinations n those of more powerful countries that are controlling them. Those people are born fighters; they want to fight Israel, free palestine, and god knows what they are hiding for us. Lebanese people want to live. Lebanon has always been the land were people from all religions and sects coexisted; I hope hezbolla's dreams and plans won't put an end to this country.

Help prevent Syria and Iran from controlling Lebanon and spreading their influence across the middle east.” “Stop Hezbollah Now.” “Hezbollah is worse than Al-Quada.” “If Hezbollah wins, the whole Western world has lost.”" When Hezbollah attacked Israel, Israel reacted. Back then you could have done so much - such as helping Israel in getting rid Hezbollah. But instead many of you showed their hatred towards Israel more than their hatred towards Hezbollah who had dragged Lebanon into this war. It's time to wake up. You had the change to get rid of Hezbollah back in 2006 if you just would have cooperated with Israel. Instead you lay on your back like a defeated dog do whatever Hezbollah wants to do to you. Nevertheless; as long Hezbollah did not take over Lebanon fully, there is still hope. I wish the Lebanese a lot of strength to cope with these militants and I fully support initiatives like the ones of Mustapha - it's a beginning; let it not end there! Libanus said:
