I'd kill at least two "soldiers" on the other side- maybe even 10 or 20. But I wouldn't destroy another country because their government was too weak to control a non-state actor. That's wrong. I think they're going after the "soldiers," which in this case is the Hezbollah leadership. And they're going after weapons and money supply routes. Which happen to be in Lebanon, which has a "government was too weak to control a non-state actor." Which makes it a messy proposition. It's not like they're trying to hurt civilians or Lebanon. When it's messy, what do you do? You go after the bad guys and try to be as careful as you can be or you don't go after the bad guys. Maybe they could exercise more care, I don't know. Maybe a bit at the margins. I seriously doubt they're not trying. Nor do I doubt that they're pretty competent at what they do. It's not like blowing up a subway in Mumbai where anybody and you get mostly Hezbollah sympathizers, not "soldiers" perhaps, but not utterly innocent parties.
