I think Lebanon and the Lebanese people have ceded their country to Syria and Hezbollah and pretending that there is some independent Lebanese government that is caught in the cross fire here and wants peace is not reality.

Which makes Lebanese citizens the functional equivalent of "little Eichmans", right?

Offer a peace plan, short of Israel militarily destroying Hezbollah (which reality tells us will likely involve civilian casualties), that could work. I don't think you or anyone else can because the only plan that works for the mass of the greater ME is one that doesnt' include Israel, which I think that we agree, is not a tenable solution.

If you're right that the Lebanese support Hezbollah so much, how is this fighting going to do any good? When the dust settles, they'll re-arm, right?
