No, it means that Israel keeps its civilians away from combat as much as possble, whereas Hezbollah considers siting their weapons and personel among Lebanese civilians and adjacent to UN position to be a political propiganda advantage. So people like you will blame the Israelis for the result.

Israel already killed 52 Lebanon civillians the first day (including 15 children) before any rockets has been launched by Hizbollah, more than Israelian civillians the whole 33 day war.

There's only two reasons you haven't seen huge Hezbollah antipersonel weapons detonating in downtown Tel Aviv: they don't have them and can't deliver them there. They brag about the larger Russian and Chineese-designed missles thev've managed to drop randomly on civilians in Haifa...much of the remainder of which missles have now been destroyed on the ground by the same Israeli airstrikes you condem. (Replacements are on the way, of course.)

Hizbollah has Iranian missiles that can hit Tel-Aviv. Most likely Tehran has forbid Hizbollah to use them, for now.

They're clearly not constrained by any moral or legal considerations; it's all a matter of capabilities; we know what their intentions are.

Neither has Israel, as been shown in the Gaza strip, the West Bank and Lebanon the last 50 years.

So one can hardly wait for the Iranians to have nukes.

And then? Israel has them for decades, without signing any proliferation treaty. Pakistan has them, one can hardly wait for Musharraf being replaced.

You don't know. You don't know how many were dropped, or what kind, or where (except in the vaguest terms). You certainly don't know why.--what military target they were being amed at when they were released; you can be certain that any evidence of that will be removed before the press and UN are brought in. All you do know is it makes a just dandy excuse to pillory the Israelis.

Three types of artillery-delivered cluster bombs were used by Israel in Lebanon -- two U.S.-made (M42 and M77) and one Israeli (M85)

So far, the United Nations has found 400 strike sites where cluster bombs were used -- "a lot of them U.S.-manufactured"

U.N. demining teams, who have destroyed 2,900 sub-munitions so far, predict it would take 12 to 15 months to clean up the cluster bombs. (Source: Reuters)

I don't need to whitewash the Israelis...
