Invasion

Stardate 6099.30

I think that most people can agree that Hezbollah is bad news. Where we tend to disagree isn't even who to blame here, but perhaps the method Israel is using in their attempt to eliminate Hezbollah. The aerial bombing campaign in all outward appearances, seems more like it is punishing (and killing) the Lebanese people, most of whom hate Hezbollah as much as Israel. Civilians are dying all over, and any remnants of infrastructure are all but levelled.

In my opinion, this is a brutal aggressive move by Israel, and it should be condemned by our government as well as the international community. When I read about a possible full-scale invasion, it seemed almost like good news in a bizarre way. Good news in the sense that the bombardment of the country will likely cease. Sadly, I wonder if eliminating Hezbollah with ground forces is really what the IDF has in mind... after all, the finishing move to any invasion tends to be occupation.
