The only solution is to squish Hezbollah like the cockroaches they are. Israel should keep beating the crap out of them until they no longer exist. And if the US needs to help with a few well- placed bombs or missles, I'd have no problem with that either....

This is sickening, but appropriate. Is it right to hit your enemy with everything you've got until they agree that they are wrong and vow to stop attacking? Of course it is. I've no doubt that this is not a true story, but as a parable, it rings true. If it could somehow be worked into the story that the latino's friends were getting hit by random punches by the marine, it would be even more accurate. Good Lord. This is sickening, but appropriate.
