And you and I both know that Israel could invade and occupy Lebanon in days, should they choose to do so.

Been there, done that. I don't think they'll choose to do it again, bar an all-out Hizbullah attack.

No, the Israelis are not worried about a conventional attack, a la 1967. They worry about more of the terrorist attacks they've been getting from the Palestinians, backed by Iranian WMDs. The majority of Iranians don't support this idea, but their opinion is not being asked.
