Nasrallah in a taped speech last night explained why he started the war with Israel. According to Nasrallah, Israel and the US were planning an attack in September/October to install a US puppet government. Therefore, Hezbollah preempted them by kidnapping the 2 Israeli soldiers and shooting rockets at Israel.
If anyone here believes Nasrallah's story I have a bridge to sell them. The question is do the Lebanese people believe him?
The other interesting point Nasrallah made is that he is concerned about pride and dignity [link|http://www.jpost.com/servlet/Satellite?apage=2&cid=1153291996655&pagename=JPost%2FJPArticle%2FShowFull|Nasrallah vows deeper missile strikes]
There is no way that we can accept the imposition of any humiliating conditions on us, our people or our country ... especially after all these sacrifices. ... We are open to political discussions and solutions with flexibility, but the dignity and national interest (of Lebanon) is a red line
It seems that he realizes that he is losing and that he is fighting for his organizations future.
