who do you think is behind the crisis in this latest activity? any single person/nation or could a multiple of persons/goverments be behind what is happenning. I think it's a show being put on for the benefit of other extremist groups who are allied wth, or, sponsors of extremism, as well as for those being recruited for the extremist cause. any ideas?

Hezbollah is a group that is kind of like 'stationed' in Lebanon. Some consider them a terrorist group but not like Al Qu. because they focus on Israel much like the Palestines. They also play a role in the Lebonese government.
Israel was at war with the Hez. group up until 1994 (date is somewhere around there) when they had a sieze fire. If I'm not mistaken Clinton was involved in that.
Ok now, basically out of nowhere Hez. comes across the Israeli border and kidnaps some soldiers then commences to start sending a few missiles into Israel's 3rd largerst city.
Israel then used it's air force to start bombing the Hez. main base in Lebanon. When you use bombs from planes, like we did in Iraq, you end up with a lot of collateral damage... innocent ppl dieing. So, this has gotten the actual lebanese ppl ticked off too because a lot of non-Hez. are dieing.
Also, the weapons that Hez. suddenly seems to have (the aerial missiles) appear to all be coming from Iran. Some are suspecting Syria is supporting them also. This is complicating the issue enormously.
Lastly, the most current problem is that Israel is no longer willing to just accept the return of its soldiers. They are now so ticked off and tired of this repeating itself that they are talking about not quitting until Hez. is completely disarmed and demobilized. I heard this myself tonight right out of the mouth of Dan Gillerman, Israeli ambassador to the UN, in a Charlie Rose interview on PBS.
So, this basically means WW3

The start of all of this was the election that brought Hamas into government in the Gaza strip. Israel and the American president did not like that. So what Israel did was bomb a beach in the Gaza strip killing 7 family members out of 10 that were having a picnic there. There was direct evidence that the shot came from Israel because of the shell that was left. Then the Israel government instigated an attack then they made there move into Gaza. Then Hezbollah had an opportunity to show the true face of the Israel government by kidnapping there soldiers and having the world see the true terrorism that is being supported by the American Government not the American people. The American people realize what is going on and so does the international people. We had the first major terrorist attack under our belt to understand what should be done, especially when your own government was behind the attacks, even though it is hard to believe I have seen to much that says it is the truth. We need peace. UNITE

Well, this all started when Hamas got bored and kidnapped Gilad Shalit.
Some extremists actually forsake modern entertainment. I agree with that, but not to the same extent. I mean, not all movies and TV shows are bad. So, that's why the radical Islamists are so bored. I mean, when you take away shooting and killing, what does that leave them with?
It just goes to show that their "cause" is ridiculous.

No matter what is the reason behind the current happening, it is the innocent Lebanese civilians who have to suffer the sins of others.
