Hoo-Ahh!!! Hezbollah

(Link may require free registration.) As stunned Lebanese returned Tuesday over broken roads to shattered apartments in the south, it increasingly seemed that the beneficiary of the destruction was most likely to be Hezbollah. A major reason — in addition to its hard-won reputation as the only Arab force that fought Israel to a standstill — is that it is already dominating the efforts to rebuild with a torrent of money from oil-rich Iran. ... While the Israelis began their withdrawal, hundreds of Hezbollah members spread over dozens of villages across southern Lebanon began cleaning, organizing and surveying damage. Men on bulldozers were busy cutting lanes through giant piles of rubble. ... In Sreifa, a Hezbollah official said the group would offer an initial $10,000 to residents to help pay for the year of rent, to buy new furniture and to help feed families.[^]
As if nobody saw this coming... :rolleyes:

Do you think Hezbollah should be remembered as the freedom fighters who drove Israel out of Lebanon twice within the past decade?

Drove Israel out? At best it was a stand-off. What fantasy pill are you taking?

No, I think they should be remembered as murderous theocratic maniacs. I guess we differ on the kinds of people we would like to live next door to.

I agree, too bad so many will remember them the way Ed suggests. Where are all the comments by Lieberman and Cheney citing this as an event that will "embolden the Al Qaida types"?

You won't hear such statements from Republicans like Lieberman and Cheney because that would mean Israel didn't win the war. After all, Bush proclaimed it a huge victory for Israel.

Um..Israel is still there. And it was hezbollah and their supports who were screaming for a cease fire. Nice revisionism, and in such a short amout of time.
My mom told me once that "while we all don't speak the same language, everyone in the world undestands an asskicking"

How does them being willing to leave equate to being driven out?

Bush proclaiming victory is not the problem, it's all the people that lap up his shit that are the problem. :(

Hezbollah rocks, you see a problem with this ?
You don't see a WTF in spawning hundreds of threads ?? Or using code found on places like codeproject.com in production applications ... Code that is most likely untested, or barely test, more often than not, not made by reputable developers/development groups/etc ?? .... Wow ...

Yeah, you're right. Maybe George Bush can sell them a slightly used "mission accomplshed" banner at a discount.

Permit me to congratulate you on your side winning. I must say the tactic of first attacking Israel, than condeming them for every civilian they inadvertantly kill while trying to clear the area of terrorists firing rockets into their country, and then declaring victory when they submit to international pressure to withdraw, is absolutely brilliant. Magnificent job. You should be proud.
Thank God for disproportional force.

I get the joke, but I'm not really interested in biased politics (no, not pinning you, just generalizing) when I'm trying to figure out what to believe in. But, in the interest of me not being too anal...
