The problem is if they start a giant pissing match they will end up with 100 million arabs at their doorstep and i know they aren't totally sure if the british/us will come help them. That leaves them 2 options
1-Bomb tactically and try to achieve your goals with a minimal loss of civilian life
2.Throw everything they have at syria-iran-lebanon-including the use of nukes.
THey choose 1 and they found out it didn't work which absolutely terrifies me because only one option is left and there is no way that israel is going to go down without a fight.

Skippy,
You sound as crazy as Dubbya did at today's news conference.
He answered a question about Iraq by saying, "We will never leave while I'm in office." The "goals" remain unclear. I would have asked...what do you, Mr President, define as victory? Is it no WMD's, no Saddam? A stable democracy based on the will of the people?
Whenever any of those things happen, perhaps there will be reason to proclaim "MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"
Unfortunately, in the meantime..an itty bitty civil war has gotten in the way.
And, as we all know, we are much safer now. Just leave your toothpaste home before you go to the airport.
"We have nothing to fear but..your wife's hair gel."
Back to Israel...mission accomplished? Right????
Their actions and results, though supported by the umm, err, ehh, present "administration", have only made US credibility in the region more tenuous. Hezbollah has the credibility, like it or not. They are rebuilding the country's infrastructure that Israel destroyed. Israel is also the one that has violated the current UN cease fire...twice.
So, they won't go down without a fight? They've already fought to a draw.
The US doesn't have sufficient forces to support current engagements in Afghanistan and Iraq. So, do you really think that the US will involve itself in conflict with Iran should Israel decide to become an aggressor in that situation? If Israel decides to use nukes, they will be bombed in kind by others that have same and are sympathetic to Iran.
So, if I'm reading your astute analysis of the situation correctly, #2 would be to use nukes against Syria-Lebanon-Iran.
Should they decide to follow your "advice", I'll give you my advice.
Go to the grocery store and buy a five pound jar of honey.
Take off your underwear and spread it all over your buttocks.
Then, spread your knees nice and wide with your puckered lips between them.
That way, you can kiss your sweet a ss goodbye.
Remind me if there is a need to fill a state department job...just make sure your resume doesn't include that minor detail about dropping out of the school for retarded diplomat wanna-bes...you won't get the job.
Keep trying. Maybe Canada will fire rockets towards the US, as you suggest.
