The government of Lebanon should beg Israel to come in and clean house militarily. Then it should remain an ally to Israel in perpetuity.

It’s been my thought that Lebanon has had a death wish for the last twenty years or so.

Syria operates it much like a sock puppet. How’s that working out Lebanon?

"It’s been my thought that Lebanon has had a death wish for the last twenty years or so."

Twenty years, try thirty five. Their civil war went from 1975 - 1990. The last 20 years have been marked by periods of stability and instability. It's taken a long time for them to rebuild their country from an extremely long civil war. And there's still a lot of tensions within the different groups and outside influences.
