I think the Israelis can handle their own radicals WHEN they opt to use violence to not only wage war against a neighboring country, but also militarily undermine the duly elected government of the country...

Hmmm, that's sounds surprisingly incoherent.

Now when are you going to agree that this IS EXACTLY what Hizbullah has done to Lebanon, as a proxy for Syria and Iranian ambitions?

Exactly done what to Lebanon? Radicalize Lebanon? Northern Lebanon was pretty much against Hezbollah, now that Israel has invaded Lebanon there is massive support for Hezbollah. If Lebanon has been radicalized it's because of Israel. I guess I already agree.

Suppose for a minute that you are Lebonese. Israel has attacked Hezbollah and coincidently they happen to be in Lebanon. You look to your government of Lebanon to do something. They do. They sit on their butts and make phone calls and they go to meetings while your village is leveled. Are you going to vote these guys into office the next election?

And what response do you actually believe WOULD WORK to restore Lebanon's sovereignty and take it permanently out the hands of meddling from foreign nations, including Israel?

What was your family doing in Lebanon again?
