Since Hezbollah decided to send missiles into Israel and kill civilians and Bush has made the choice that we can not tell Israel that it can not defend itself, Yes, I think he made the right call.
Oh, and to the MORON who said cant we just all have peace, HOW DO YOU ACHIEVE PEACE WHEN TERRORIST ONLY KNOW WAR AND DEATH?
You have to kill them before they kill you and your citizens.

In a way, yes... they have kidnapped Israeli soldiers before and demanded prisoners returned, which Israel did. If they don't put their foot down this time, it will just happen again. So in that way, I believe Bush supporting them is a good thing.
However, if we are the ONLY country supporting them and not insisting they stop, we continue to risk further problems with other countries because they all feel we CAN do something about it and we're not. Peer pressure from other countries is a good reason to join the other countries in chastising Israel, but it would show support to the rest of the world.
Ugh... no good answer, I'm afraid.

It isn't up to Mr.Bush to handle the situation of Israel or lebanon conflict....Bush is doing what he should..He knows that they have to work things out. He can't "do" anything but possibly suggest a peace idea if they ask him.Otherwise Mr. Bush knows that America, part of the UN process ALL get their heads together for some kind of resolve.

No, I don't support Bush in this sense. Israel went overboard in their retaliation, all for two (I believe it is two, it very well could be three) hostages. There is no need to openly bomb any nation for that, and for Bush to overlook it is to fail to utilize his position, and attempt to maintain some peace in the Middle East.

Personally, I loved the answer he gave the reporter who asked him about it in Germany and he replied "I thought you were going to ask me about the prok, heh...heh...heh." This just shows the true brilliance of the man. He can only think about feeding his ugly face at a function when people are dying and killing one another in a war. But then, Rove and Cheney weren't there to whisper the answer in his ear. As a result, he has absolutely NO IDEA about what is going on there.

nope not at all ... he's alienating the neutral lebanese majority by allowing bombs to keep dropping on them and they will soon turn against the US (who they as recently as last week supported). in the past, this has happened and meant a strengthening of hizbulla ... and the cycle has repeated itself after we saw hizbulla at their weakest in support last year. and btw, there are 50,000 americans, 50,000 australians and just as many if not more candians and french citizens in lebanon as we speak.

First off, Bush has no right to say ANYTHING to Israel. Period. And hasn't. Condi has opened her big mouth, and then shut it again.
