Hezbollah was created out of an Israel attack/invasion. Israel didn't fix anything. Now look at the situation.
Israel after they are finished with Hezbollah should help financially rebuild Lebanon. How wonderful would that be? Of course that will not happen.
Interesting you should say that. I read some interviews with several Lebanese this morning, and alot them had the same reaction: "We want our government to control the southern border, NOT Hezbollah, but the government is unable to dislodge them! So what can we do?" I then read that Israel said their goal is to drive Hezbollah away from the border and not allow them to return. Which made me think...
Wouldn't it be fvcking great if Israel pushed Hezbollah from the south and then turned around and handed it over to the legitimate Lebanese government, maybe even helping them rebuild it? It would show the world its true intentions (secure Israel, not occupy Arab territory), strengthen the anti-extremist portion of the Lebanese population, and maybe finally give some stability and peace to that border. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I get the idea lately that the Lebanese, whatever their feelings about Israel, Syria, Iran, etc., are desperately ready for peace and prosperity above all else, which I find encouraging.
So I agree, that would be a fantastic idea!
