Hezbullah is a terrorist organization (and recognized as such by the vast majority of nations). And they have members in Lebanese parliament. So, in part, the Lebanese government is comprised of terrorists, because the people elected them. This is where the Lebanese people are responsible. If they don't want terrorists operating in their country, they wouldn't elect them to positions in government, or allow them to use Lebanese territory to stage attacks. Since they *do* want terrorists operating in their country, they have to be willing to pay the price for that; that is what Israel is making crystal clear. Some lessons are hard-learned; this is one such lesson.
