A girl, sitting on her father's shoulders, holds a picture of Hezbollah leader Sheik Hassan Nasrallah during a Hezbollah 'Victory over Israel' rally, in Beirut's bombed-out suburbs, Lebanon, Friday, Sept. 22, 2006. Nasrallah said Friday his guerrilla force would not give up its weapons until Lebanon was 'strong,' demanding changes in the government as he spoke at a rally of hundreds of thousands of supporters in a defiant challenge to Prime Minister Fuad Saniora.

More poison in the Arab gene pool.
Hezbollah supporters wave Hezbollah, Iranian and Lebanese parties' flags under a banner showing Israeli soldiers mourning during the funeral of a colleague who died in the Hezbollah-Israel conflict, during a Hezbollah 'Victory over Israel' rally, in Beirut's bombed-out suburbs, Lebanon, Friday, Sept. 22, 2006. Nasrallah said Friday his guerrilla force would not give up its weapons until Lebanon was 'strong,' demanding changes in the government as he spoke at a rally of hundreds of thousands of supporters in a defiant challenge to Prime Minister Fuad Saniora. Arabic writing under poster of Nasrallah reads 'The nation has triumphed and the enemies were defeated.' (AP Photo/Hussein Malla)

Ali,
If you love Hezbullah so much, why do you live in New South Wales, Australia? It's not like Hezbo has much of a presence in NSW....

Well, Isreal may have won the "battle" but Hezballah is winning the war. If things continue as is, they will win Lebanon through a coup. What you say? "They can't win by a coup because the UN is there."? oooooooo.. So SURI. The UN is not there to disarm anyone. It is there to monitor the "peace" and point their fingers at it if they find it.
You don't really see Israel holding rallies to celebrate its battle. That is because everyone knows that Isreal screwed the pooch on this one. God forgive Israel for thinking that they could do this on their own without God. They lose each and everytime they forget their Lord.
