Clearly the Israeli military doesn't agree with you - their stated and obvious goal is to deteriorate Hezbollah's military capability and create a buffer zone in southern Lebanon. Right now this is no different than 1982 or 1996 and unless and until Israel and her allies destroy both Hezbollah and its benefactors, Syria and Iran, the re-arming will continue. Further, strategically, this is stupid move for Israel because they are fighting on Hezbollah's terms; in a manner and at a time and place of its choosing. Hezbollah architect ed this war and as such they've predicted and manipulated Israel's reaction - which is equivalent to control. This situation is no different than Northern Ireland: Sinn Fein was/is both a political and terrorist organization. The solution was diplomatic, not martial: recognize and provide a politically accessible path for Sinn Fein. Hezbollah will need to be engaged, provided a political path that contains mutually accepted goals and measures, enforced by a multinational military. If Iran or Syria tries to shake things up, then the multinational military should take them out. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212044 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
