Personally, I don't see much to be accomoplished in the region.

Hopefully Israel will say "go home" to Condi. The fragile "democracy" in Lebanon needs support and they need to throw Hezbollah out of their country. It is too bad the situation there has been perpetuated for 40 years, and the sooner the terrorist governments of Syria and Iran are brought down, the sooner the radicalism can be put under control. Get out the popcorn -- the key piece on the chess board is Iran.
OK free world, your move.
Israel can't. And you're right about Lebanon, they need to find the will, perhaps desire, to disarm Hezbollah.
The Lebanon government and people are missing an opportunity.
They should get on board with Israel, assist them, and be grateful for their help in getting rid of Hezbollah.
Israel would probably even assist Lebanon in creating an actual army to secure the mutual border,
but only if Lebanon sincerely wants to become a real independent non-hostile nation.
....it's Israel's war, let them fight it...
Not much different from the Hitler Youth - but we didn't try to kill all the kids in Germany in WWII. If we had - we would have not been not much different from the Nazis.
Don't get me wrong - I think the Muslim religion needs to be eradicated. I just don't like to see America specificaly targeting children.
The leftist anti-American press and RAT politicians want to send the 21st century equivalent of the guy on the left, to see the 21st century equivalent of the guy on the right. And we all know what happens in the end because of this appeasement, right?
We should be hitting Iran as well. Some war on terror.
>I just don't like to see America specifically targeting children.<
Nor do I. I just stated an unhappy fact that these children are programmed to be WDMs. Hitler Youth were not brainwashed from birth. I don't think we are trying to kill Islamic children, nor do I advocate doing so. I am saying that we are in a war like no other in memory, and that it is tragic that the enemy uses their children as they do.
