You have to hand it to Isreal; this plan is brilliant. It looks now like they are going to bomb the hell out of their neighbor, effectively invade, and then leave someone else (probably us) to handle the occupation. If only the Bushies had thought up such a scheme for Iraq.
And I'm sorry, but I don't see how anyone could answer TS's second question with a yes.

Will Israel have killed enough trained Hezbollah fighters, destroyed enough weapons, and damaged enough infrastructure to make Hezbollah less of a threat for a few years?

Even if the answer is yes (which probably is over short enough horizon), how long will it last, and will it have been worth it?
