I think that calling up a single infantry division is indicative of a leadership that does not want to go into Lebanon.

It's only one division that WE HAVE HEARD ABOUT.. It should not be construed that other divisions have not been called up.

But suffice it say, Israel obviously doesn't want to go into Lebanon. Been there, done that, when they had to destroy the PLO. But Hizbullah is different in that they represent the Shi'a population which is one of the largest minorities in Lebanon (Although I looked extensively, I couldn't find an actual demographic stat for the number of shia in Lebanon).

But neither do they want Hizbullah to remain in the same status that they were prior to the taking of the hostages.
