<HTML><BODY> I also think that tonight at the assembly, we should make these statements clear:<br>
<br>
1- Israel has to cease .<br>
2- Hizballah has to cease.<br>
3- Iran and Syria need to stop supporting hizballah and ask him to fight Israel on our Lebanese land.<br>
<br>
I think we should make a strong statement about this.<br>
<br>
Sincerely,<br>
<br>
Rania.<br>

<div>Finally we are waking up and realizing the truth. We
are realizing that Hizbullah's ultimate goal was completed long ago, we
should now thank them and it is now time for them to let lebanon
take all military and other decisions for itself. I am sorry for
all the pain the Palestinians are suffering, but i don't see why we
also need to pay the price by having a militia that tickles the wasp's
nest every once in a while. We, the civilians, always end up being
stung the most by these actions.</div>

<div><font style="font-size: 11px; font-family: tahoma,sans-serif;">Dear all,<br>
<br>
I read all the comments. <br>
At least we all agree we want Israel to stop its unhumanitarian attacks.<br>
I am afraid it is too late now after all the destruction.<br>
But let's learn one lesson though: we should also ask for hizballah to stop <br>
fighting Israel... The more they fight Israel, the more Lebanon is destroyed.<br>
So why don't we all ask for BOTH parties to stop????<br>
Why don't we ask Israel to go fight Iran and Syrian on THEIR land and not ours?<br>
Hizballah can get out and fight on an Iranian land... do we really want Hizballah?<br>
They are bringing nothing but destruction and war from Israel to Lebanon.<br>
<br>
We, Lebanese, Christinas and Muslims, shoud all ask for Hizballah to stop their action as well....<br>

one is condoning the actions of Hezbollah; we’re condemning the
heavy handed actions of Israel and its collective punishment of Lebanon

Instead
of replying with emotionally charged responses, full of personal
attacks, I would appreciate if you actually come up with alternative
ideas of disarming H<font class="">isballah, i.e. curing the deadly
cancer, rather than giving it a Tylenol by saying STOP THE
WAR!! I want to know what is next?? spend the next 20 years
negotiating with them while they build up their capabilities again?</font><br>
