And just to point out one clear mistake in what you wrote:
See Egypt. Also see Jordan.
I know you americans are brought up with the Israeli lies since you started in kindergarten, but there are europeans reading this forum, and we havent bought into that crap (expect nodrog and so on).
Cheers, Zhukov

Well, you sure left his arguments in ruins.
I'm going to have to call you out on a mildish case of numbers 1-3 and 5, and a blatant, textbook case of number 6.

Israel wasn't occupying Lebanese territory, yet Hezbollah were firing rockets into Israel. Israel is acting out of self-defence, and I'm sure they'd rather not have a single Israeli soldier on Lebanese soil if they didn't deem it absolutely necessary for the safety of their civilians, whom it is their job to protect. Although their response may seem disproportionate in terms of the numbers of civilians they've killed, for that we can at least partially thank Hezbollah for deliberately locating themselves in densely populated areas so as to maximise civilian casualties and cause the exact sort of reaction you are displaying.
I very much doubt Israel's actions will prove anything but counterproductive, but what else could they do, considering that the instinct for self-preservation, public opinion, ingrained hatreds and the lessons of history all militate against the best long-term solution, a complete withdrawal to their internationally recognised borders? Do you seriously expect any government to stand by and watch their cities being attacked and their soldiers kidnapped without attempting to prevent it?
