[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]From the Washington Post…unfortunately the headline selectively reads the strike was on a Hezbollah leader but it’s clear with 4-6 buildings destroyed this is not selective targeting.

Since it began Monday with a ferocious aerial barrage, Israel’s military operation against Hezbollah has killed more than 700 people in Lebanon and set off a spiraling humanitarian crisis.

It was too early to tell the real toll of Friday’s strike, said Firass Abiad, Lebanon’s health minister. Four to six buildings were “completely demolished,” he added. “We expect fatalities to be high if there were people inside their apartments.[/quote]

Do you know who's really thrilled about the apparent death of Hezbollah's leadership?

The vast majority of Lebanese - Sunni, Maronite Christian, even most Shi'a. No group has done more damage to Lebanon than Hezbollah. Almost the entire Arab world is absolutely delighted by Israel's targeted actions against Hezbollah - from exploding pagers and walkie talkies to the destruction of their underground hq. The Arab world and most of Lebanon is celebrating today. [/quote]

There were a lot of Iraqis happy about the downfall of Saddam. We know what that led to.

I don't know what will happen in Lebanon. Ever heard the expression "The devil you know is better than the devil you don't"?

Just to be clear, I sure as hell hope this doesn't open a pandoras box of destruction.[/quote]

I believe it will.  Lebanon is a small country.  The bombing has obliterated the country.  There is no one there without a friend or family member who has lost their life, their home, or had their business blown to rubble.  You think they have home owners insurance? Business insurance? No.  [/quote]
