Terrorists or .... partizans

My first double post! Sorry, but ten minutes to post looks like a crash.

Lebanon right now seems to be fighting the PR war better than Israel, or better than the Palestinians ever managed to do. I hope that this war damages Hezbollah more than the Lebanese government in the end; starting this fighting must reflect badly on them in Lebanon.

I agree with you that Israel may well lose this war, not militarily, but politically because of its utterly inappropriate over-reaction. However this article shows that they are currently as bullish as ever, claiming that the failure of the international summit to condemn them is actually a full-on permission to keep going

Quite typical reaction; but if no-one can come up with any kind of condemnation then it's hardly unexpected. It just shows no-one actually has the political backbone to do anything, and that Israel needn't worry about consequences. Not the message that should be sent out.
