Given that, as you point out, Hezbollah and Lebanon are intertwined. In fact, they are one and the same. As such, my initial thought was that Israeli objectives were to narrowly focused. Instead of focusing on only Hezbollah they should have declared war on Lebanon itself and treated it in much the same fashion that America and its allies treated Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan during WWII. <br /><br />Were Israeli leaders and the IDF to determine such an action is needed they would be justified in doing so. Lebanon poses a far greater threat to Israel than Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan ever posed to America or likely ever could have posed to America.<br /><br />Iran appears to be the chief supporter of Hezbollah in Lebanon. Hezbollah conttols Lebanon. In effect, Iran is the chief backer of Lebanon. Lebanon is attacking Israel. For all intents and purposes, Iran is attacking Israel. This is how Iran's supporters in the media say "Iran has never attacked anyone." Iran using proxies!! <br /><br />Perhaps Lebanon should be bypassed and Iran should be attacked directly. America cannot do this. It doesn't have the military resources or enough trained pilots to defeat Iran's air defense system. The only country in the region who can do this is Israel. Should Israel opt for a military respone, America's best course of action would to get out of Israel's way and pray the Israelis are successful. Iran is an enemy of America. As such, we have a vested interest in Israel being successful but their is little to nothing we can do to offer material help to them at this juncture. <br /><br />May God grant the Israelis success in this endeavor. Personally I really do wish they would get on with it. Taking out Iran will get harder before it gets easier. Time is of the essence here.B.Posternoreply@blogger.com
