The last thing Israel wants is for this to escalate significantly. What will happen is this... It will go on for 3-4 more days until it all shakes out and Israel decides how much (not if) they're going to give in to demands. I really wish they wouldn't because when Israel negotiates with the less-savory elements it only perpetuates and promotes this kind of activity. But, as we all know, Israel ALWAYS negotiates. Instead of having the stones to actually do more than lob missles which are killing hundreds, if not thousands of innocent Lebanese, they will, as always, give in and acceed to some extent. Israel ALWAYS negotiates. Did it in 1972, did it a couple years ago. Will do it again in the next 5-7 days. They'll do it again two years from now. All that will come of this is in the end is a badly damaged fledlging democracy in Lebanon struggle to survive and to feed and water their people. Israel will not march into Syria. Israel will not go to Iran. Why should they? After all, it's far easier to put down the slingshot-toting Palestinians and lob some missles at the Democratic country of Lebanon. |
