Lebanon demands compensation from Israel - Yahoo! News

Lebanon demands compensation from Israel - Yahoo! News: Lebanon demands compensation from Israel

BEIRUT, Lebanon - Israeli troops clashed with Hezbollah guerrillas on the Lebanese side of the border Wednesday, while Lebanon's prime minister reported a death toll of 300 and demanded compensation from
Israel for the 'unimaginable losses' to the nation's infrastructure.

Israel should be charging Lebanon for expenses incurred in their sweeping out hezbola, which Lebanon was supposed to have done years ago. Lebanon's weakness and failure to do that is the root cause of why Israel now has to do Lebanon's dirty work. But for Lebanon's failure to take control of their country 6 years ago and rid themselves of the hezbola, they wouldn't have had all the current damage which Israel believes is necessary to eliminate hezbola. Lebanon impliedly asked Israel to do this by taking no action at all. What else could they have possibly expected? That Israel was just going to let hezbola fester in Lebanon after Lebanon agreed to take control of the problem?

Anyway, Iran is ultimately to blame. Jimmy Carter should have had a pair of balls back then and dealt with them instead of making the US look like a bunch of pansies. Thanks Jimmy. I actually like him now though, good guy, but a lame president. So yeah, here we are again dealing with Iran's crap. How do the Iranian people tolerate it?? Doesn't make sense to me at all.
