Reply #107: From what I am reading, Hezbollah is trying to survive [View All]

[WilliamPitt]

From today's Times:

"A few months ago, representatives of every Lebanese political faction gathered in downtown Beirut to discuss the issues that divided them — including how and when to disarm the Hezbollah militia. Intent on keeping its weapons, however, Hezbollah has stymied that discussion by crossing into Israel, killing and capturing Israeli soldiers and prompting a fierce Israeli counterattack that has all of Lebanon in a defensive posture."

Sounds like Hez didn't want to be disarmed, and so they picked a fight.
