But rather than putting Lebanon's Prime Minister on the international hotseat for not disarming Hizbullah, they have now essentially permitted their Prime Minister to turn this crisis into a attack upon Lebanon's sovereignty. He knows he's powerless to disarm Hizbullah, but he's not been put in the spot of having to internationally admit that reality. So Israel's failure to offer an "alliance" with the Lebanese government to disarm Hizbullah has permitted their PM the easy political excuse that Israel is attacking Lebanon. The Lebanese PM has stated his intention of taking control of southern Lebanon. The course you suggest sounds great in theory, but we know how much time useless diplomatic moves done for the sake of PR take. By the time all that was done, the crisis would have passed, Nasrallah would be crowing, and the Israel's military option would be off the table for all practical purposes.
