Trying doesn't count. If it did, attempted murder would hold the same penalty as murder one . My neighbor, who is a Christian from Beirut, is worried sick about family still living there b/c of unnecessary and senseless violence. He's not worried about the Islamic group; they're not bombing the living crap out of Beirut. He's worried about who is always portrayed as the "good guys" by the US media, for some reason that I really don't understand. What Hezbollah did was wrong, no doubt, but Israel's retaliation was even more foolish. And yes, I also understand that Hizbollah guerillas have also launched attacks back at Israel. This is not okay either. However, this is a group of extremists, not a sovereign nation.
