If the Hezbollah wasn't there, Lebanon today would be the prosperous, thriving, fun loving entrepreneurial society that it was 30 years ago.
Israel has always said that it has no intention in staying in Lebanon one second more than is absolutely necessary.
Their long-term declared strategy is the destruction of Israel. And their tactics along the way are killing as many Israeli women and children and innocents as possible.
