I'm sorry I was under the impression that war isn't supposed to be nice? Did you expect the Israeli's to hand out flowers?

War is war. Yes Israel used massive retaliation, but when have they ever said they wouldn't. I think they've always made it quite clear what their response to any action against their country would be. They've shown it time and time again.

When the Hezbollah took those soliders they knew what the outcome would be, but they did it because it was obviously their turn to supply CNN with pictures of dead women and children.

War sucks people. it's messy. Just because Israel uses cluster bombs doesn't make them any worse then any other nation currently fighting a war.
