Now, I'm not saying that George Galloway isn't a fairly manipulative politician, who has, in the past, kissed up to some pretty nasty dictators...  (as

"as long as Hezbollah fight soldiers trying to invade my country, i must admit i am very grateful. but the firing rockets AT CIVILIANS has got to stop. on both sides."

Spoken like a true patriot. I absolutely agree with you. Hezbollah have every right to resist invaders and not be viewed as terrorists while doing so, even if their idiot leaders insist upon incitement, attacking civilian targets, and have arguably violated their own religious beliefs by sanctioning terrorism in the past. It's unfair to say that all Hezbollah are terrorists. Some are patriots.

"the only ones capable of resisting Israel are thus Hezbollah, altho i must say, they have monopolized and capitalized on resisting Israel. even if sum1 else wanted to, sum other group, theyd have to either join hezbollah or 4get it."

Not a good situation, certainly.

"Israel is the one who wanted the army to take possession of the south so they'd pull out, but now that the leb gov (including hezbollah) is ready to send in troops to secure the south, suddenly the Israeli gov deems them "not strong enough" to contain Hezbollah."

I have noticed this, and believe its a hypocritical act. Israel doesn't want a quick peace or a quick ceasefire. They want to go into south Lebanon and tear it apart, hunting down Hezbollah... who, by their definition, are basically anyone left in the area. Nevermind all the people of Tyre, a city of 175,000, who haven't been able to leave, or have chosen not to do so for various reasons, much like people in New Orleans chose to ride out the hurricane, only to find themselves trapped in the city afterwards.

The U.S. government know *EXACTLY* what Israel is doing, and support it. I guess we'll be able to watch them put on a display of mock outrage for awhile, even as they buy the Israelis time to kill more Lebanese and destroy more of Lebanon's infrastructure.

And no, nothing you have said has been in the least ways offensive. It has been enlightening and informative. I think this is a time when all of Lebanon should unite to resist Israel's invasion of their country, but I also think that they must find ways to do so that do not make them puppets of Hezbollah.

the ppl of Tyr cant leave bcoz of wt the leaflets said: any moving vehicle will be bombed, so they're trapped.

I basically agree with you, we shd resist without falling into Hezbollah's hands, but the lebanese balance is very fragile and so the gov has decided to back up hezbollah all the way now as some kind of "united" resistance, and also, i believe, in order not to trigger another civil war bcoz of parties vehemently throwing the responsibility of this at eachother and building up hatred between the lebanese. so for now, backing up hezbollah is the only way out; when it's all over it will be time for expressing differences of opinion again, but right now the words on every lebanese's lips are "united" and "resisting".
