Someone explain to me how the Hezbollah/Israeli conflict began.
I will not justify Lebanese extremists, but at least they kept their military strengths as exactly that - military ones. Targeting a civilian airport is another thing entirely. Two other Lebanese friends of mine (different family) had to actually stay in Lebanon a lot longer in the summer of 2006 as a result. You would be amazed what facts there are to be learned from people who were actually there. Similarly, ask a parent who lost a child to the war in Iraq what they think about the military industrial complex.
