You goobers don't give a hoot about Israel.

Insults are for those lacking arguments. I give a lot of "hoot" about Israel. Apparently more than you.

This is the biggest security coup Israel has ever gotten.

Delusional, foolish and it total denial of reality. Hezbullah with Syrian backing has achieved a landmark political victory in Lebanon. Syria refused to cancel support of Hezbullah and other terrorist groups. Israel gains ZERO.

Peace with Syria cuts off Iran, the most porous border of Iraq

There is no "peace with Syria". Syria itself is militarily irrelevant. Their support of terrorists across the region is the issue. Israel gains nothing from forfeiting the Golan Heights. Syria get's rewarded for being a terrorist bully. Syria just a few days ago refused to cancel ties with Iran and Hezbullah.

and forces Hizbollah to wither on the vine.

Thanks to Olmert's incompetence and staunch Syrian-Iranian backing Hezbullah is more powerful than ever. They have gained veto right in Lebanon. Yeah... wither on the vine...

Sorry your messianic delusions prevent you from seeing that.

The case I just made was entirely secular and based on military/strategical considerations. My religion doesn't cloud anything. It just makes the matter an issue of an higher priority.

Uuuum... you realize that the peace deal is in the *future* right? You're getting your tenses confused. As for Syria refusing to forfeit their support for Hizbollah, just wait a little while, it's one of Syria's few bargaining chips, they'll hold on to it for a while, get a few concessions and the cut them loose. Just watch. Your fundamentalism is stunting your knowledge of realpolitik.
