1. Lebanon's reaping what they sowed
Memphis Slim ,   Memphis, TN- USA   (04.14.14)
What goes around comes around. The sword cuts 2 ways. The main takeaway from the carnage in Iraq, Afghanistan, Syria and Lebanon is that there is not enough Arab unity or stability for Israel to even consider any peace plan that has the element of "trust" regarding Israel's security. The time just isn't right to attempt to settle the Palestinian conflict with Israel. It could take 100 years -or more - before Arab consensus is secure. Problem is that there has never been Arab consensus - except for their hate of Israel. Fortunately, they hate each other more than they hate Israel.
2. Put it in the context of Hezbollahs repeated threats
Sammy ,   Newcastle   (04.14.14)
Lets not be fooled for one moment Remember what Hezbollah say 'Is these attacks continue we will have no option but to take full control of all of Lebanon' But if you think that the whole of the Shia population in Lebanon are fanatically in support of Hezbollah...Social Networking says different A huge proportion of Shias I Lebanon are first and foremost Lebanese Patriots and look on with rage at how Hezbollah are using LEBANESE TERRITORY to butcher Syrians, Lebanese and Palestinians in the name of the Regime in Iran And why do you think every week more and more disaffected Hezbollah are deserting their armed units and going underground? But the worst is that how these Hezbollah criminals arrogantly call themselves Party of God and conduct their outrages in the name of Islam

mullahs there. Lebanese just want to live and prosper, but the mullahs keep sounding the drums to their ears. Of course, PETRO Iranian $ also helps recruit these poor guys. You put youth, religion and money then anyone becomes an easy believer. Mullahs are the problem. And of course, the main backer is Mr. Putin.

"But the worst part is that how these Hezb'allah criminals arrogantly call themselves Party of God and conduct their outrages in the name of islam." So, does the opposite side make the same claims. What you have is a revolution, a religious revolution that only ends with a lot of dead people. Worst part? I don't know, both sides commit the most evil acts against women and their own kids, worst? Which are worse? Maybe neither, maybe both or, what's really going on is the really the wrath of G-d? The G-d of Israel? Only Muslims are murdering Muslims.. KEEPING BUSY BUILDING !!!!

I will never understand the extreme cruelty that Moslems inflict on their own supposedly in the name of Allah and peace. I understand that Mohamed was not above meeting out cruelty also. and these purveyors of a perfect lifestyle wish to convert the rest of the world by peaceful or violent means. hope the keep it local.
