I've Been Thinking:

Hezbollah is doling out cash - wads, bunches and bundles of cash.
Hezbollah is doling out $12,000 US for each house that was destroyed.
Hezbollah estimates that 15,000 homes were destroyed in the conflict.
$200, 000, 000, that's right, two hundred million US dollars.

The monies are coming from Iran.

The good will and the political gains this gesture buys far surpasses the monetary value.

Hezbollah is now seen as The Great Savior, not only in Lebanon but throughout the Arab and Muslim world.

We all knew that Hezbollah planned to claim victory and aid in the rebuilding. But nobody planned a counter offensive.
Nobody thought to plan for a way to counter a proud and renowned terrorist organization that is gaining in popularity across the world.

Hezbollah had a PR plan.
Where are the strategists who should have planned a media counter attack against Hezbollah?

Shame on you, Israel. Shame on you, the West.
