That is a huge, core problem.
It doesn't really explain the infrastructure destruction so much though. I think that Israel would like to destroy or cripple Hezbollah this time, and forsees an extended campaign. The destruction is, in my view, part of a caclulated strategy to try to punish Lebanon to the point that the non-Shiite groups become their active enemies and push to have Hezbollah disarmed. (The word is they (generalized) are really pissed at Hezbollah, but that the f-ing Israelis are the enemy.)
I saw today in the paper that Israel has declared its intention to establish a security zone in Southern Lebanon -- thus putting everyone back where they were six years ago. (But this one will probably be bigger -- given the new rockets.) On the one hand, one wonders why Israel is leaping back into that quagmire. On the other hand, it sends a strong message that Hezbollah's "shit", as our President would say, won't produce any results that make anyone happy.
As for DK -- any woman who will yell -- "the pooty store is open" can't be all bad. :waggle:
