And now a word from the "winners" in Lebanon

In this village from which Hezbollah guerrillas launched the July 12 raid into Israel that ignited the war, there is no electricity, no running water and no talk of reconstruction. Most of Aita al-Shaab will likely have to be torn down to be rebuilt.

"This has set us back 100 years," said Hassan Mohamad Srour, a 52-year-old engineering professor sitting on a broken overstuffed chair propped on a piece of cinderblock that once sat in the wall of his home. "We are living like animals now. We eat and sleep in what is left of our homes."

Some can't even do that.

Several dozen hilltop homes were wiped away completely, razed by Israeli bulldozers, residents said. Not far from the town square, the swath where homes once stood was reduced to flattened piles of smashed furniture and toys, twisted iron girders and broken cement. Already, newly hung yellow Hezbollah banners fly from bent iron electricity poles.

...

A few predominantly Christian villages suffered heavily, but others were virtually untouched. The next village east of Aita al-Shaab, for example, predominantly Christian Rmeish, escaped mostly unharmed, with some fighting but with the buildings along its main street practically unscathed. Many civilians fled to Rmeish from surrounding Shiite areas during the war.

The devastation — cratered roads and burned buildings — begins again in the next Muslim town, Bint Jbail, also considered a Hezbollah stronghold. Farther east along the border with Israel, the town of Maroun el-Ras is nearly deserted. Residents say that Israeli troops are occupying some homes and that tanks rumble through the streets nightly.

...

On the other side of the border the Hezballah rockets mainly hit unoccupied areas of Israel, but hey Nasrallah thinks he won. Wonder when he wants to march to his next "victory." Hezballah clearly took a major pounding and probably has suffered more than even Israel might know. the Israelis should be upset mainly because of an opportunity they let slip away to destroy an enemy on their border. The Israelis did inflict a strategic defeat against Iran.
