I just love this line: "Hezbollah Secretary-General Hassan Nasrallah needs to maintain this calm in order for Lebanon to continue to thrive and to be able to focus on finding a legitimate political way out of the Hariri probe entanglement." How does one define "a legitimate political way" of having assassinated the country's prime minister?

Don't Worry, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah is there , Everything will be OK : )

You are correct everything will be ok.Having Nasrallah there ensures Lebanon will return to the stone age with perfect justification for Israel. Sure there will be the usual UN condemnation of excessive force with the usual denunciation blaa blaa blaa but in reality good old Hassy will be the face that destroyed Lebanon whilst Israel continues to provide the world with new technology .That my dear you can bank on :)

Needs to show more prudence with regard to Israel's military might than he showed in the past. Too many people died in Lebanon. Too many people died in Israel. Oddly, he claimed victory in the last go round. If death, injury, destruction and fear are a man's allies then I suppose he was victorious. Israel has proven time and again that- when push comes to shove- it will respond with disproportionate force. Because it has disproportionate force. The voices of reason within Israel which keep these forces in check abdicate when the threat becomes existential. They have no choice. Mr. Nasrallah should keep this in mind if he cares in the least for human life. Sadly, I suspect ideology is more important than compassion to this man. If the young Israeli soldier is not released in defiance of the peace accord for fear of a drone strike the moment he is secured, I could understand. Not allowing The Red Cross in to see him however ; exposes the Hezbollah Secretary General as a rather despicable example of humanity.

Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, or denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism or exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country...

Gilad Shalit is held by Hamas in Gaza, not Hezbollah in Lebanon, wrong terrorist group, wrong territory, but your hearts in the right place. Things here are very complicated and confusing. You have mixed up your lunatic terror groups, an understandable mistake, there are so many here.

I don't doubt for a moment that it is within his bounds of authority to facilitate Red Coss arrangements. I would be very surprised in this instance if the left hand didn't know what the right hand was doing. Very surprised.
