>>You make some interesting observations about "a new strategy".<< The "strategy" itself inherently entails that Iraq, Lebanon and Syria never be allowed to rise again. That will necessitate periodic Israeli air strikes across this entire wasteland, which will in turn cause untold human economic misery for many millions of Muslim people. Since its inception in 1948, Israel has had a fundamental strategic problem. It has no depth. It could not and cannot afford to lose a battle on its own borders, having no space or room to retreat and regroup. It is this fundamental strategic fact which has caused Israel, preemptively or otherwise, to always be the first one to attack when it saw itself under threat from surrounding Muslim nations. Having attacked, Israel had to advance, and fast, for the grand-tactical purpose of gaining a military decision through arms and gaining further maneuver space. Israel cannot afford any kind of long, slow war.
