Could say the same thing about Israel. Not like they do shit for us.
And so what that they do? They vote to condemn Israel's actions and we give an automatic veto.
Sorry. I just get pissed that the "UNITED" Nations was posting troop movements in close to real time -to the enemy, is a bad idea. Israel is a democracy and an ally to the United States. The Hezbos want you, me, our parents and our kids dead. In all fairness the UN didn't post where the Hezbos where.
I understand in their position as a world forum they shouldn't be doing that, but I really don't care. Israel barely qualifies as a democracy and has caused the US many of the problems we face today. Hezbollah really doesn't care about us. You're mistaken there. Their focus is in the Middle East, namely Lebanon. Hezbollah may not like the US, but they are not after us like Al-Qaeda is.
Also, Hezbollah hides better than the IDF.
I agree with you when you say that Israel is barely a democracy, they do some shaddy shit!! However, they are THE ONLY "democracy" in the region. With that said, they are also our allies, and are a partner on the fight against terrorism. The UN caused the problems we have in the middle east, if they created a Palestinian state ALONG WITH the state of Israel, we probably wouldnt have todays problems. However you are WRONG when you say Hezbollah doesnt care about the USA, they are sworn enemies of the USA. They had more blood on their hands than al-Qaeda did before 9/11!! Hezbollahs main focus is Israel, but they do Iran's dirty work, and help fund the Insurgency and those who oppose us.
You're also correct in saying that they arent as active as al-Qaeda in their attacks on the USA. However, that doesnt matter considering they are still a professional terrorist group, and are just as dangerous! We should have confronted Hezbollah after they blew up our Marine barracks, but that was politics intervening. Either way, when we fight Iran, and it is only a matter of WHEN, we will have to fight Hezbollah. . .
The IDF let politics intervene and therefore let Hezbollah escape with a victory. I guarantee if Netanyahu was running the show, the IDF would have destroyed Hezbollah! The politicians in Israel planned a shitty campaign and basically got beat!! Hezbollah is now sitting re-armed and ready to go for another round, while Israel is sitting with their tail stuck between their legs! YOU CANT FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT AGAINST THESE ENEMIES WITHOUT GOING FULL BORE AND FIGHTING JUST LIKE THEY DO!!! The fight against Hezbollah isnt over by anymeans!! Its just a matter of time till hostilities re-ignite!!
P.S. THE UN IS AN EMPTY SUIT. . . . . NUFF SAID! Absolute worthless organization, and behind the times!! More people have died at the lack of UN action around the world, than both the Iraq wars COMBINED!!!!!! UN should be ASHAMED of themselves!
