The Terrorist Menace. Duh.

Hezbollah as a military entity must be destroyed. Should Israel do this through a house-to-house war? No. The cost would be too high. And I don't think destroying Hezbollah as a military entity means killing every last soldier or blowing up every last tunnel (not that I wouldn't applaud that occurrence.)
Here, you and I agree. But I think that Hezbollah appears to be very well entrenched, willing to fight hard, drawing sympathy from the Arab governments that initially condemned their actions, and uninterested in diplomatic solutions where they lay down their arms like Sinn Fein. I'm not seeing that kind of intermediate solution at the moment.

But I do not see this as solely an Israeli problem or obligation. Security council resolution and all that.
Nor do I.
