They thought they had more than sufficient missiles to really hurt Israel the first time and although they did cause much damage it was nothing compared to what Israel did to them. So the logical idea is to re-arm at a greater amount for the next attack. Israel learned form this war but so did hezbollah. The next time it will be `the gloves are off`. That will mean more Israeli casualties and greater damage to Israel, especially if the attack is coordinated with Hamas and Syria. For Lebanon it will mean even greater damage to their infrastructure, many many more dead and a war that the international community will find hard put to fix afterwards. Although Sinoira throws letters from Israel in the garbage without reading them, Israel will need the US to relay the message that if nothing is done about Hezbollah by the Lebanese government, the next war will produce devastation beyond anything experienced in the 2006 war. Sinoria had better wake up or he`ll find himself sleeping in rubble.
