Crises in Lebanon

Super Squirrel is full of squirrelly fury at the situation between Israel and Lebanon right now. Granted, Hizbollah is firing rockets into their country, but as far as I am concerned, Israel's is not a "measured response" no matter what Prime Minister Steve says. Of course, Israel should have a right to defend itself, but does that justify the massive, continuous bombardment of a non-combatant country and the deaths of hundreds of innocent civilians?
They say Hizbollah is a terrorist organization that must be uprooted. But what happens when the uprooting creates a brand new crop of young terrorists? Won't that simply continue the cycle of violence?

Sometimes it amazes me that the citizens of Israel, many of whom fled horrific violence and terror in the first half of the 20th century, so easily respond with the imposition of violence (and indeed terror) on their mid-east neighbors. Whatever happened to "never again"?! Isn't all war really terrorism?
