Or is it, "Israel should quietly kill off every Hezbollah guerilla, through silent assassin-type operations"? That's where you were last week, and it was pretty damned silly.
Once again -- when a violent and aggressive military force intentionally takes refuge among civilians, the blood that is spilled is on the hands of that military force -- not on the hands of the victim, who must choose between killing the human shields or letting its own civilian populace die.

I already proposed my alternative. We send in an occupying force. US troops administer the area until (i) all terrosrist activity is gone; (ii) both Jew and Arab have managed to hammer out a joint governing or separate state arrangement; (iii) the children of both sides are being taught to work for cooperation and mututal respect; and (iv) all Arab nations are made to understand that any assistance to a terrorist organization or incursion, militarily, or through proxy guerillas, will be viewed as an act of war against the US itself.
We may never get out of there, but if that's what it takes to stabilize the region that most threatens world peace, then so be it.
