Sanctity of Life

This note is not going to be popular with most people.
This posting is also being written whilst I am very tired.
Lets assume this note plays a bit of devil's advocate, whilst remaining somewhat realistic

Can you really say that Hezbollah don't appreciate life?
Can you really think that they don't value their soldiers ? their fighters ?
Their negotiators just managed to make Israel give back every single Hezbollah fighter for what was widely believed to be (but not confirmed until today) 2 captured soldiers who were sadly killed some time ago.
True, we see it as them not appreciating our soldiers lives, but why have we kept remains of Hezbollah here too ? We have caused suffering to families of Hezbollah fighters in the same way they caused us the same anguish.

I really don't see how we can claim the moral high ground on this release. I understand that they were terrorists, fanatics and other combatants, but unless i misunderstood the nature of who these people were, I don't understand why we kept their bodies, which, according to one report, needed 23 red cross trucks to return the bodies.

The images of their soldiers changing back into military uniforms, showing that whatever they may be able to persuade the rest of the world, they are still wanting to fight. They want to carry on the battle.

This is not step towards peace. This was not a step towards progress.

What will they hold out for next? What will we have to give back in order to get back the captured soldiers who we know are alive ?

My thoughts and prayers go out to the families of those who are missing and returned today.
