Last time I checked, Hezbollah is not a sovereign nation. It has no borders and no legitimate authority. Israel’s stated intent is to disarm and/or destroy Hezbollah and then go home—leaving Lebanon a freer nation in the process, I might add. If anyone is a map-carver, it's Iran: Ahmadinutjob is the one pining for Israel to be wiped off the map.<br /><blockquote style="color: rgb(255, 102, 0);">Ahmadinejad's nation is a major backer of Hezbollah and a sworn enemy of Israel, but he denied that Tehran provides military support to the militant group.</blockquote>And we all believe that one, right?<br /><br /><span style="font-size:78%;"><span class="Tags">Tags: <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Iran" rel="tag">Iran</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Ahmadinejad" rel="tag">Ahmadinejad</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Israel" rel="tag">Israel</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Hezbollah" rel="tag">Hezbollah</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Hizbollah" rel="tag">Hizbollah</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Lebanon" rel="tag">Lebanon</a>, <a href="http://technorati.com/tags/Middle+East" rel="tag">Middle East</a></span></span>Sethnoreply@blogger.com
