"... Only because you don't listen.

OK. I stand corrected. There are people like you accusing others of wanting to destroy Lebanon. I haven't seen that coming from official spokes persons however. What I have heard is the opposite, which is the desire to preserve the democratic government of Lebanon.

"the initial incident was a straightforward military attack on uniformed targets."

During war? ... NO
During mutual combat? ... NO
By the military of another country declaring war? ... NO
By the military of a country defending itself? ... NO
By an organized paramilitary for non combat purposes? ... Yes

Should Israel negotiate with them as a legitimate representative of the Lebanese government, acting within their legitimate authorization to protect the country of Lebanon?

What message does that send to every other paramilitary organization in the world? If some group kidnaps American border guards and takes them to Mexico, should we release all the drug cartel from our prisons?
