Yes, but everyone in the West, including the Israeli public, know that this would be only posturing on their part. The majority of Israelis themselves feel they did not the win the war.
Whilst, on the other hand, the vast majority of those in the Arab world,
including a large proportion of Sunni peoples, now believe that Hezbollah have indeed "won"; which they have in a way.
The Israeli's achieved nothing they set out to achieve.
The soldiers are still missing.
Hezbollah are intact.

True, I guess. It would be crazy, and very provocative, for US Forces to be involved in te peace-keeping. No doubt you will see the majority of the forces from Europe again, as it was in the 80's.
