Killers Welcomed Home Email This Story Print This Story

Five Lebanese militants freed from prisons in Israel in exchange for the bodies of two captured Israeli soldiers strode down a red carpet behind a Hezbollah honor guard Wednesday to a boisterous welcome from hundreds of cheering spectators. Israel released Samir Kantar and four others after Hezbollah handed over two black coffins with the bodies of the Israeli soldiers, closing a painful chapter from the 2006 war in Lebanon.

Why would Israel even make an exchange like this. One for one maybe. But letting a brutal butcher like this loose is just plain stupid. What would happen if the whole lot was blown up by suicide bombers while they have their little ceremony?

there are 2 sides to every battle. War in every sense only breeds pain and suffering. These were combatants on the other side. Resolution first comes with understanding. Killers released hardly tells the story, only ramps up the rhetoric that fuels our endless stupidity. Are the boyscouts? No. Pigs to be slaughter? That's what they say about us..and so continues the madness.

The reference to pigs was actually because they consider them to be unclean. What other side of the story is their for a cold blooded child killing terrorist. I don;t care what your beliefs and what your side of the story is. You kill kids on purpose to get your message across, to scare and you are less than a pig and deserve to die. How the hell can you sit there comfortable in your own home and dare to defend these miscreants? It's OK what he did because it was only Jews that he killed. Is that what you think?

I agree, I think Isreal made a horrible mistake. They did not get breathing living beings in exchange. Shame on them, They need Benjemin N. back as leader! We should have blew up the whole batch as they where being welcomed home!, They sure would have taken it on us if they could have, funny the media has no problem knowing where they are!

I believe Isreal has something up their sleeve for Lebanon. They should go ahead and just blow Lebanon right off the map. Then they can concentrate on Iran. Any country that supports and backs terrorists should have all hell unleashed upon them. The Geneva laws should be thrown out against all terrorists and terrorist states.
