Hizboes are not the recognized government nor are the Hamas gang as long as they maintain their military wing which is committing terrorist acts. The other group in play are a democratic government threatened with total destruction by several of its neighbors.
I'm with you there SASless. I assume the democratic govenment you refer to is Lebanon (its new Prime Minister, Siniora, visited the White House in April.)

My 2 cents before this thread gets deleted or moved to JB..

It a war by proxy fought by Syria. They tell their buddies in Hezbollah to provoke Israel. Israel overreacts - as they knew they would - the fledging pro-democracy/anti-Syrian Government in Lebanon falls and is replaced by pro-Syrian militias. France Russia and China get pissed at the US for supporting Israel and so nothing gets done about Iran or North Korea.

And it costs Syria nothing.
