War Games

Raid Israel to capture soldiers, battle tanks in the valleys of southern Lebanon and launch Katyusha rockets at Israeli towns -- a new Hezbollah computer game puts players on the frontline of war. "Special Force 2" is based on last year's 34-day conflict between the Lebanese guerrilla group and Israel.

"This game presents the culture of the resistance to children: that occupation must be resisted and that land and the nation must be guarded," Hezbollah media official Sheikh Ali Daher said.
But Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Mark Regev responded by saying: ''It should come as a surprise to no one that Hezbollah teaches children that hatred and violence are positive attributes.''

Designed by Hezbollah computer experts, players of "Special Force 2" take the role of a Hezbollah fighter, or Mujahid. Weapons and points are accumulated by killing Israeli soldiers.

Of course it's easier to play games that to clear away the massive amounts of rubble that still remain in all of their areas and rebuild after that last "victory" of theirs.

And don't forget- they also need running water and electricity, which they still don't have.

Yup- that sure was a "victory". LOL!

Woohoo- We killed a lot of Hizbullah terrorists. They were trying to murder our civilians by shooting at them from within their own populated areas.

Pretty stupid- unless, of course, one doesn't care for one's own people.

Woo-hoo. More than a year later and what doesn Hizbullah have to show for their war crimes? Lots of dead terrorists and civilians, lots of rubble, no running water or electricity, no economy, increased dependence on others, a huge loss of power and political clout in Beirut and in southern Lebanon.

Only an Arab can be so stupid to call that a "victory".

I wish you many more such "victories", although probably one more would leave their areas without any population at all until others like Maronites and Druze would move in.
