Doesen't really matter? The fact is that this capturing would have been solved with several other ways, in either diplomatic or limited military operations involving special forces. The huge bombings and massive land attacks has nothing to do with hostagereleasing. Also the Israeli rethoric swithed soon as the attacks started form liberating the soldiers to destroying the Hezbollah. So the war was stareted by Israel, they had the change of not doing it but they choosed othervice.

The scale of the attack speaks of existing plans to attack Lebanon and this capturing was merely an execuse for the attack...

Well we already know that we don’t agree over this subject… It all depends on your opinion on what is legitimate pretext for military operation… Some will say that attack on soldiers and repeating artillery bombardment of border villages are reason enough, some will think otherwise…
But since I think that we can lead this discussion forever and achieve nothing we would be best to drop this “who started what” subject…

Agreed, lest not show bad example to our kids;)
