Bodies Exchanged for Criminals

Top headlines again in the news are about a swap that Israel made with Hezbollah. Hezbollah had the bodies of two Israeli soldiers that they kidnapped and killed. The event led to the outbreak of Lebanon-Israel war of 2006. In exchange, Israel was giving Hezbollah the remains of some of it's jihad fighters killed by Israel but also was releasing live prisoners that had been convicted and were serving time in Israeli jails. Read the article here; http://afp.google.com/article/ALeqM5g_1sNh-s2y5awFnfghf9Hpbo-uRA

"Today Lebanon witnesses an unprecedented victory over Israel," proclaimed Lebanon's Ad-Diyar newspaper. "Today the Lebanese prisoners return to their country with their heads held high."

And again, the enemies of Israel (and The West) will use this as a victory in their propaganda war and it will embolden them to reach deeper and farther into Israel the next time...which may be coming soon.
