At the end of the day, Israel is fighting an enemy of the West named Hezbollah.
Who is this organization:
"Americans should be familiar with Hezbollah. In April 1983, Hezbollah terrorists, operating from Syrian-controlled territory, bombed the U.S. Embassy in Beirut, killing 49 and wounding 120.
Six months later, Hezbollah terrorists drove two trucks carrying explosives into the U.S. Marine and French military barracks near Beirut, killing 241 American and 56 French soldiers.
Lebanon should have disarmed Hezbollah in accordance with U.N. Resolution 1559, a 2004 measure that called on all Lebanese militias to disband.
But the West, and especially Europe, could have done more to help.
Hezbollah has been used by Iran and Syria to funnel money to finance Palestinian terror against Israel. Terrorist wannabes train in Hezbollah's camps in the Bekaa Valley, with trainees coming from al-Qaida, Chechnya, Colombia's Medellin drug cartel, Hamas, Japan, the Balkans and Northern Ireland.
Hezbollah is an Iranian creation supported financially and militarily by Tehran. When not waving Lebanese flags for a gullible Western media, Hezbollah sports a yellow and green flag depicting a fist brandishing a Kalashnikov rifle, posed against a globe and advocating "an Islamic Revolution in Lebanon."(http://www.investors.com/editorial/IBDArticles.asp?artsec=20&issue=20060714)
Today, Pres. Bush made it clear that Hezbollah is the problem not Israel.
Iran, Syria and Hezbollah are terrorists. I'm glad to see that Pres. Bush is pointing the finger in their direction.
