I am a  lebaneses Living in Los angels california, although I am a christian, and never supported Hizbollah, I can't accept or justify what is Israel doing in Lebanon today. I can only describe it as ( and they speak of been civilized and pro western) the most barbaric war of modern days. But my friends I am afraid the picture is much bigger then that.
Israel just made a big purchase of smart bombs from the U.S. after they've seen it in action in a TV commercial called " the invasion of Iraq" displayed by Gerge W. Bush. So by watching this commercial, they thought WOW we can do the same thing to Syria and Iran if they wanna mess with us. They thought by bying smart bombs makes them as smart as americans (trust me I heard this from an Israely neighbour of mine here in LA).
So ok now we have the smart bomb where can we test them, again lebanon becomes the arena of test as it had in the past, so they waited for hizbollah's next move, which in anyway was an ongoing thing in the south but Israel never made a big thing about it in the past , why now?
Results, Israel  proved to be dumb and not smart, those bombs are designed to prevent or minimize collateral damage , and all they did "the dumbasses" is destroy residential neigbourhoods, and kill innocent civilians, they did not hit significant targets to hizbollah, all in all they FAILED the test, they are not ready to face up with Syria and/or Iran. And that is why you notice that their demands for cease fire are getting fewer by the day. At the end of the day they will settle for a prisonner exchange which what they should've done in the first place, and everything goes back to normal, the only difference is that Lebanon will pay the bill of destruction.
It is very sad to see my country been destroyed again , I have seen and lived that before (1975-1982) I left Lebanon in 1982, I was 24 years old then. But one thing I know and I can feel deep in my heart , Lebanon will remain as it did for thousands of years.
Long Live Lebanon
