Israel has no possibility of eliminating Hezbollah. Hezbollah is an IDEA - an idea Israel's current actions are recruiting for and building support for in Lebanon. They may kill most of the current fighters, but in doing so, they'll create a NEW generation of fighters who've seen Israel kill their brothers and sisters, parents and grandparents. Terrorism is a tactic that the hammer of the military will not work to defeat - any more than it's working for us in Iraq. It's the solution of stupid, authoritarian people, and will never work, but will only make things worse. The way to defeat terrorists is to enlist the aid of the people they hide among. You don't do that by bombing and killing them wholesale.
