[lit-ideas] Re: Hezbollah (cont'd)

Since the Hezbollah had spent a decade fighting
numerically and technologically superior Israeli
forces in South Lebanon, and eventually forced Israel
to withdraw from most of South Lebanon, there is some
evidence that it does care about Lebanon. Its social
involvement might be some evidence of that, too. It is
true that it doesn't seem to have gotten to building
bomb shelters yet, maybe because it was busy bulding
hospitals, schools etc. That probably justifies the
recent airstrike in which 56 Lebanese civilians were
deliberately killed, most of them children. There is
no need for Stan to, God forbid, adopt a somewhat more
humble tone in the face of that massacre.

O.K.
