Continue to discourse about Somalia.
Somehow that connects with Israel and Lebanon.
I'm very surprised that nobody brought up Grenada or Panama.
Chile or Libya anyone?
Back to my question, Pat....
Just suppose that somehow you got yourself elected to be president of the USA...
WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
Go with what Israel is doing...bomb the sh-t out of Lebanon at all costs to "get" Hezzbollah...and incur the negitive fall out from many Arab allies,
or hope for a cease fire and bring in the UN and/or NATO?

I would continue to ask for the UN resolution of the total disarming of Hezbollah. I would ask Israel to try harder to miss civilians. My problem is that I wonder how many of the people they have hit have armed, or are armed Hezbollah. Obviously the children killed and hurt is absolutely chilling.
I really dont know what I would do. Its a very difficult situation. I guarantee one thing. If Israel is actually ever left alone, the will not harm anyone. And if commerce between the Israelis and the Arab neighbors ever takes place on a large scale, wonders can happen. See Northern Ireland. I understand the power of putting people to work and allowing them to leave peacefully while taking care of the family. Northern Ireland has become a shining example that there is still some hope.
