"The choices are now fight or run. Attempts to appease such hatred only makes things worse."

In other conflcts there does come a time when sentiments shift. Sadat gaining some street creds in the 73 war was able to fly to jerusalem and make peace. Drive them into the sea needs to be replaced by some sense of pride combined with realism on the arab side. On the Israeli side there is an almost racist view that has developed for good reasons that the arabs are incapable of making peace or compromise. Thats something the israelis must lose. Whether either side can get to another place where mutual distrust can be replaced by grudging respect is indeed a long shot but its a road that at minimum must not be given up on. Otherwise some day we will have nukes going off there and thats not a world any of us wants to live in. If you feel this is all psychobabble, then i guess the only alternatvie is for israel to crush hizbollah completely by any means necessary. This is something the israelis have not yet chosen to do.
