Israel tired that in 1982. It leads to an endless war. NATO could be a 3rd party that could be an legitimate stabilization force like they are in Afghanistan. Israel being in Lebanon merely moves the front, it does not solve the problem.

Disagree, the war is happening now precisely because Israel eventually pulled out of Lebanon. They need to go back in for good, until every Arab state recognizes their right to exist.

This commentary, however, proposes for the NATO forces to be "under the auspices of the UN." Not appealing.

Push back Hizb'Allah until they have nowhere to go, then consider stabilization. Otherwise, by rushing international forces onto the scene, you have stagnation at best.
