I really ought to sleep so I can't go into the nitty-gritty of this, but I can understand your perspective and how your argument seems logical, but I feel that you're holding the Lebanese people to an unbearable standard. It seems that when the Lebanese view a nation as a threat to their own interest, you're holding them to a far different standard then when we do it ourselves, as is the case with much of the middle east and North Korea right now. And don't think this current conflict is simply a case of Israel attacking Lebanon because of a couple rockets. This conflict is a lot deeper and has a lot more complications. There's a lot more issues at play, such as control of coastline, access to the Jordan River, etc.
