For the record, Israel and Lebanon are at war, they have been for over 50 years. Same goes for Iran, and Syria, probably Saudi Arabia too.
Countries like Egypt and Jordan used to be at war with Israel; Israel then came in and kicked ass, life for Egypt and Jordan has been a million times better since making peace. Hell Egypt is the second largest recipient of American aid, and Jordan is a key ally in the region and for the war on terror.
I don't know how you establish that the Lebanese people have no blame in electing Hezbollah to their government. Hezbollah has gained seats in every election since they've started having them in 92' ( I think thats the year), Hezbollah has 2 ministers in the government, and is supported by others: To me it seems like the situation with Hamas, the people of Lebanon and Palestine enabled these terrorists, Lebanon and Palestine are fully responsible as sovereign nations. At the same time Israel has FULL RIGHTS to do whatever they want as they see fit to defend themselves as a sovereign nation.
As usually the peaceniks who are calling for peace and diplomacy are misguided, I don't know how it doesn't register with you: People like Hamas, Hezbollah, Iran, Syria, don't want peace, they want Israel and all the evil zionist jews destroyed, they cannot be talked to rationally because they are not rational.
I am really getting sick of Israel beating around the bush, they need to buck up and go into Lebanon and Syria, hopefully provoking Iran, and escalate this conflict so it can be ended once and for all. Again I refer you to the relationship(s) of Egypt and Jordan with Israel: Since Sadat made peace in the 70s shit has been alright, might not be peachy, but there haven't been problems with terrorism. Same goes for Jordan.
