#4 A meaningless statement at the current level of conflict. Hezbollah is a popular movement of Shiites who live in Lebanon. As long as these people are still there, and can maintain what amounts to an enclave outside of the control of the Lebanese army, Hezbollah will continue to exist.

#5 Maybe ... but there's a big difference between people with feelings and an organized, funded and armed group with state sponsorship and an extensive infrastructure.

Taking out the infrastructure - the camps, the tunnels, the storage bunkers in Bekaa, and the leaders and a good part of the followers, will go a long way to dismantling the attacks on Israel from that particular group. And it serves as a warning to any other groups looking to step in.

Of course, the real issue is Iran for Hizb'allah and Syria for Hamas.

#6 Yoni on Hugh Hewitt said "Israel is going to war. They have no idea what is about to hit them." Going to be an interesting week or two.

From his lips to God's ear.

#13 lotp wouldn've typed "Hizb'allah" to be accurate, rich dear. In one of her incarnations she teaches some of our future leaders, so she understands the importance of accuracy.
