Unlikely.

Well, spoon, because those 'skirts' give Hezbollah fighters perhaps more spirit?

Terrorists (and historically, armies as well) have always hidden themselves among civilians and religious structures for one reason and one reason only: Because it works.
If a terrorists plops a rocket launcher in the middle of a busy marketplace, and lobs a rocket into enemy territory, the world yawns. However, if the enemy drops a bomb on that rocket launcher, and takes out half the civilians in that marketplace, the world is immediately horrified! Do they blame the terrorists who put the rocket launcher in the middle of the market (or in the school yard, hospital roof, apartment building yard)? Nope. They blame the side that blew up the rocket, along with the civilians and infrastructure close by.
It's a win-win situation for the terrorist, a lose-lose situation for the enemy who responds. That's why they do it.
BTW, I don't know why Israel is so reluctant to bomb mosques when they know munitions and missles are being stored there. A quick eyeball on the Iraq fiasco proves that Muslims are perfectly willing to blow mosques themselves, so long as said mosques belong to the "enemy" sect, be that Shia or Sunni.
We need a global set of rules that applies to everyone, me thinks, not just the countries or groups that we personally don't like. Of course that only works when everyone follows said rules so... never mind. :) |
