Thank you Cal for posting.Hezbolla lost elections, but they are still armed and dangerous, and will remain as such for the time being.

No the question is, will they remain civil about it or will terrorism start up within Lebanon? With their track record...I think we all can guess...

Joe I can't figure why a huge country like Israel, surrounded by peace-loving neighbours like Syria, Iran and Lebanon, which only want peace and friendship, should need to have such a strong,powerful military. It just doesn't make sense.

It's not enough to read the history books, Stan. One must actually seek answers and acknowledge reality. That is why it doesn't make sense to you.
