I agree, and disagree with you.
I have never seen a news report where I was at the scene, and witnessed the event (even interviewed) get reported correctly, in the news, or on TV. So I suspect that the reports we are seeing, are not completely portraying what is actually happening that well.
On the other hand, random rockets, filled with bb's at the rate of 200 per day. is no joke either. If we examine the supply lines of where Hizbolla are getting their weapons from, and who else might be involved, or quick to jump in, there is actual cause for alarm. If Iran chose to get involved, and possibly pulled out a nuke or something, there is a possibility of WW3.
I would hope we as a race of humans, would be beyond all that, but who knows how it could all go down. Justifying one attack after another.

Re: True but...
Have you seen how they are reporting it on Al-jezeera?
There is a large group of people there that will never quit until the Jews are irraticated. Seems to be plenty of alliance going on.

Re: True but...
Do you watch Al-Jazeera, or do you see what they are reporting based on the lens of whatever biased US media source you happen to watch?
I caught a section on CNN headline news where they showed actual clips, with translations from various news networks over there.
After watching the actual footage of what it happening, I can say that they are biased, and their influence will affect how muslims who do not know any better, see the war against them. They do the same thing with us, and never show any of the good that we do for them. It's like watching monkeys in cage, who pocess a serious ability to do harm to others.
Tell, what do you think would happen if Iran jumps in and drops a nuke on Israel?

Re: True but...
Reminds me of a special I saw on Afganistan. They were interviewing a guy from the Northern alliance, and he said, when the enemy lines move past your location, you don't retreat, you just switch sides. If it comes back, you switch sides again.
