why didn't you ask that question regarding rumsfeld and saddam?

this is all i could find about this picture you asked about:

Syrian and Lebanese officials then persuaded UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan to personally meet with Nasrallah during his visit to Lebanon--in effect crowning him as the primary political force in the south.

I am aware of that photo, and have seen it before. I didn't know anything about the other one.

Okay, so he met him as part of some tour. I'm not sure meeting implies support as such.

The UN have been pretty critical of the hezbollah attacks

He met the leader of the political party that is part of the Lebanese government. Stop telling these people to adopt democracy if you're going to act like assholes when they do.

So you're perfectly acceptable with guilt by what is ultimately a very loose assosciation?

What does that say about you being in the military and some military personnel raping or murdering innocent civilians?

btw, I realize that's not a fair question, so dont take it personally, but it illustrates my point well when it comes to your logical fallacy.

Israel's collaterally killed less than 1000 civilians after two and a half weeks of intense offensive action in a densely populated area. Pull your head out of your ass and get some perspective.




User kicked from this thread for the above post.
Let's all try to be a bit more civil. Keep responses directed towards the subject and not the posters

densely populated? Bangladesh is densely populated, poor rural farmers are not densely populated

Depends what you consider terrosism.

In 2000 how many nations consider hezbollah to be terrorists?

Even now it isn't a huge number.


It's a matter of perspective, some consider what Israel does as terrorism (using fear to achieve a political change)

And many of these Lebanese people do not assosciate with the militant aspect of Hezbollah, so that means they deserve to die? The main difference is they don't really have anyone to "report" things to.

If you use the same logic, it doesn't matter that you don't have an official assosciation, or fully support their actions.. you would be just as condemnable for them as these civilians who are dying now

Lebanese website blames Hizbullah for Qana deaths

Anti-Syrian elements in Lebanon openly point finger at Hizbullah as guilty of killing of dozens of civilians in order to curtail plans for disarming group. 'Hizbullah has placed rocket launcher on building's roof and brought invalid children inside in bid to provoke Israeli response,' they write

The PM got elected for being very anti-syrian...he has not suggested such things, as have most lebanese

however, remember there are still veterans around who had their best friends killed by Hezbollah...and Hezbollah veterans who had their best friends killed by Druze, Christians, etc

Ofcourse SOMEONE is going to post an article like that, they were butchering each other not too long ago

not at all. If I saw said activities it would be my duty to report it and I would be criminally charged if I didn't. Look at the haditha investigation two officers were charged because the investigators felt they were trying to cover up
