My 2 cents on Israel- Hizbollah 2006

1) Hizbollah started it by kidnapping two soldiers. In past such kidnapping has been used for bargaining their prisoners out by both Hamas (Palestin) and Hezbollah.

However, the motive of Hizbollah this time is different after the voluntary evacuations of jewish population from Gaza strip and new prime minister at helm in Isreal.

2) Obviously, the heavy handed approach of prime minister Olmert is being critisized as too much or killing of innocent citizens.

But it is important to disarm hizbollah for various reasons.

3)
- Hizbollah is heavily armed !! militant group which can cross national borders (without the government backing) and plunge the country in to a war.
- it doesn't represent a soverign government and hence has no rights to be armed !!!.
- It is influenced by Syria and Iran which has its own agendas in supporting it.
- It has clearly islamic agenda which can endanger the christian minority and democracy in Lebanon and it has stated goal of destroying Israel.
- Moreover, they are fighting while hiding among civilians.

4) Diplomacy - France is going back its former protectorate just like English sitting in Basra and Afghanistan.
