What's amazing is that Israel waited 6 years before responding
to Hezbollah's repeated terrorist agressions, cross border raids, kidnappings, murders, and unprovoked rocket attacks.
Hezbollah is a barbaric Islamic terrorist organization overtly committed to the destruction of the free, democratic state of Israel. It's a simple question of backwards Islamic savagery vs. modern human civilization, really. Given this fact, the truth is that Israel showed a tremendous amount of restraint in the recent conflict. Honestly, Olmert erred by not hitting the Hezbollah much harder, much sooner.
