Here is the tail end of a Debka aritcle today:

Neither Damascus nor Tehran – and certainly not the Hizballah - have any intention of leaving the diplomatic initiative in the hands of the US secretary of state. They will do their utmost to stay one step ahead of any American-led steps and keep Israeli forces from running away with a victory. The way events are going now, both the Americans and Israelis will soon be confronted with the necessity to cut both Syria and Iran down to size.

If US forces were not bogged down in Iraq would we consider inserting Marines to cut Lebanon in 1/2 and trap Hizballah between them and Israeli forces? Would it be prudent to do so? This article comments about such a situation.

Nadine..the Arab countries might be more amenable to the idea NOW and it would be an opportunity for the western nations to show that they ARE at least trying to recognize the inequities of the situation for the Palestinians.

It probably wouldn't fly, but it would be a step toward opening a dialogue that EVERYBODY could be a part of and allowing a venting with words rather than missiles.
