    The issue is: At a time in history when both the US and Isreal needed strong leadership - we got politicians, and the terrorists won.

    It appears that both the US and Isreal had incompetent leadership. Our 2 Nations have lost more to the terrorists due to our politicians, than any damage by the terrorists.

    So who is the terrorsit?

    If I have read right a couple weeks ago they fired a rocket that hit a medical center in a mall that wounded a child and I believe if I am right there were a a few others also wounded too. And some neat info I picked up after years of following the news and articles of the conflict is that Hizbollah translated from arabic to English is interpreted as "Party of god". The way the media occasionally spells it is Hezbolah which in the english dictionary is defined as a radical Shi??ite Muslim organization in Lebanon engaged in guerrilla warfare against Israel.

    If hizbullah had done so well against the IDF, why have the stopped firing rockets for nearly 2 years?
