64. You are CORRECT, the answer would be a resounding YES!
And certainly if you asked Israelis a more general question, "Do you want your government to undertake a major peace initiative?", I'll bet an overwhelming majority of Israelis would say yes. They might argue about the details, but they would want peace, not war.

At THIS point though, that's not an option until Hezbollah lays down its arms and returns the Israeli soldiers. I was listening to an Israeli on the news yesterday and he said that the Israelis hold their soldiers in VERY HIGH REGARD. To them, the life of ONE soldier equals the lives of 500 citizens. This is a very serious sticking point.

What does Hezbollah have to gain? Well, IF Iran and Syria enter the fight...a LOT. They have also said this fight will never stop until Israel is gone...off the map and the Hezbollah leader has said he has "surprises" for Israel. So, we shall see what they are and then we'll know better. Do we know what Iran has militarily? Do we know everything? I don't know and that scares me.

I agree with you that the psycho and his cabal will turn on Israel when they've used them up. This whole thing is sad beyond words.:(
