Yes, I suppose you are right. We should abide by The Marquess of Queensberry rules. After all, Hezbollah has manufactured bombs that only go off on soldiers. Never civillians. It isn't Lebanon's fault for giving them sanctuary either.
Lebanon is having a hard time from a bad childhood. Mommy and Daddy didn't love them enough, blah, blah, blah.
If I were Israel, I would ask, How were they NOT the enemy? They gave aid and shelter to the enemy, they even had the enemy in PUBLIC OFFICE, what makes them separate from the enemy? They don't restrain themselves, why should we? They take hostages and in so doing, Lebanon takes hostages. What makes Lebanon NOT the enemy? Just because you are not holding the AK-47 and wearing the bomb vest doesn't make you a civilian. If you aid the guy, you are as responsible. He dies, you die. Again, I'm sorry that the idea of your army meeting my army on a deserted field of battle has died out.
