The Lebanese army can't do it.
The Israeli's can't do it.
The UN can't do it.

While they might not ever be disarmed, Israel shouldn't take a passive approach to Hezbollah when they continue to shell Israeli towns. It's better to do something rather than to do nothing and hope the situation gets better.

No, it's the fault of the Lebanese government. I don't think they have even tried to expell Hezbollah from their country.

Lebanon is not to blame for this any more than Israel is to blame for this... think about it.

I don't really agree with that statement. I suppose you are referring to the fact that Hezbollah was created in 1982/1983 after the Israeli occupation of Lebanon. Though, I would like to point out that Islamic militants have been in souther Lebanon, attacking Israel, since 1968.
Israel no longer occupies Lebanon-- They haven't since 2000-- Yet Hezbollah, which is located inside of Lebanon, continues to attack Israel. In this situation, I solely blame the fact that Lebanon's government is completely inept and incapable of controlling terrorist factions in their own country.
