#1 Fred, give us a warning or something (graphic) before you publish this stuff. My surprise meter pegged out and I spilled coffee all over my lap.

#2 Lot of bull in this article. I wonder how much of this the Independent itself really believes (probably most of it). Hezbollah "won" a phyrric victory because Israel's military and civilian leadership weren't up to actually FIGHTING a war at that time. I believe if Netanyahu is elected to replace Olmert, Hezbollah won't be able to do even a tenth as well.

The real problem is Iran, which is funding and supporting Hezbollah, Hamas, Syria, the Mahdi Army, and whoever else they can employ to fight a proxy war against the United States. The sooner we retaliate with overwhelming force, the sooner this nonsense will end.
