Occupy Palestine and Lebanon? Yes, that would be a lovely way to incite worldwide jihad against the US -- on a scale far beyond anything we've seen to date. Leaving aside the thousands of US lives and trillions of US dollars that this decades-long misadventure would cost, do you have even a clue of how many Arabs we would kill in the process? We've just seen what Hezbollah is capable of -- do you think that they will respond more kindly to a US invasion and occupation? And do you think that our response would be anything less destructive than Israel's?
As for occupying Israel -- going to war with a democracy and an ally, because we've decided that they don't think right -- I can only say that next time I'm in wonk-land, I hope he shares whatever stuff he's been sampling.

I never thought I would say this, but I agree with all of what Sidd posted.
Lebanon and Syria are Israel's problems to corral. Ultimately, notwithstanding the recent battles, untethered, eventually Israel could take these guys down. As long we do our part and take out Iran before it gets the nukes.
