Reply #9: I agree on the idea- but blue line (the Leb border) does not give the hill [View All]

called "Sheba Farms" to Lebanon - it is occupied by Israel Syrian land - but Hez claims it for Leb.

The overflights of the areas that rockets were being stored and then moving south and then being fired from in Lebanon were required by the lawlessness relative to international and Lebanese law caused by the Lebanese government being afraid to challenge the gang rule by Hez (and I and my family understand the Lebanese citizen in South Lebanon view on this perhaps a bit better than most since it is an analogue to the Al Capone/Chicago/food kitchen for everyone/social help days when Al was a guest in our Chicago apartment -and later our Lake county apartment - and Al was more popular than any politician of the day - including FDR).

the disproportionate response is easy to reject - and I'm into talk/talk for everything also - but, continuing with the Capone analogy, the US Fed response and its limited civilian deaths was only possible because of the local government not fighting/preventing under "states rights" the process needed to stop Al. There was no one to talk to about stopping the rockets in Lebanon. And there was no way to avoid "disproportionate" deaths in the population hiding Hez (even though most were not Hez in any wat shape or form).

recognized borders - well established by international law, affirmed by numerous UN resolutions and world court decisions - exist only for the borders with Lebanon, Jordan, and Egypt.

And Hez refused to abide by the decision relative to Lebanon - see the "Sheba Farms" comment above.
