US-Lebanon-Israel


former top American diplomat says the US deliberately resisted calls for a immediate ceasefire during the conflict in Lebanon in the summer of 2006.
Former ambassador to the UN John Bolton told the BBC that before any ceasefire Washington wanted Israel to eliminate Hezbollah's military capability.

Mr Bolton said an early ceasefire would have been "dangerous and misguided".

He said the US decided to join efforts to end the conflict only when it was clear Israel's campaign wasn't working.

Vigilante_Cat. It's been known for many years that Hezbollah was synonymous with violence, terror, suicide bombings and kidnappings. In the 80s, militants who went on to join Hezbollah ranks carried out suicide bombing attack to name the one that killed 241 US marines in Beirut,

This party hasn't been operating alone but with neighbouring "Syria's blessing" - with the guerrilla war against being a card for Damascus to play in its own confrontation with Israel over the occupation of the Golan Heights.

Over the 2 decades, Hezbollah evolved into a movement with thousands of trained guerrillas, members of parliament and a dynamic welfare programme benefiting many thousands of Lebanese.
Hezbollah is known to be a fighting force and all its members are devoted to furthering a very Islamic of the south region of Lebanon.

True. Unfortunately, that bloody and very destructive summer 06 war had put considerable level of poverty and hardship on many thousands of Lebanese living in the south region of Lebanon. Besides this, the peoples, the political stability, the environment and the economy of Lebanon are suffering from the consequences of last year war.

So what's the shock exactly? US has opposition to this group--it's exercising its view and serving its interest. Common sense.

So Many reasons were behind their decision not to stop that bloody war in the summer of 2006. From the start of this war, I did wonder why they were taking so long to implement a ceasefire? and why so many muslims civilians had to be killed in exchange of these 2 israeli soldiers? This war was planned well before. Hezbollah's logistics, armury, resources and strategy stupefied many countries. To cite: Israel and its allies.
