14. The Israeli adventure into Lebanon is short-sighted, at best.
IMO, with this, and other actions, they have removed any chance for "moderate" governments to have a voice by leaving a black/white alternative to the people of the Middle-East. The American/Israeli occupiers or the Jihadists.

In the long run, as the conflicts contiue and grow even more violent the dwindling support for Israel and the chance for an acceptable (if not totally peaceful resolution) will be lost.

I have no quarrel with Israel attempting to protect it's own people. Unfortunately, the methods used against Hezbullah and Hamas offer nothing that will sustain that protection, or resolve the conflicts.

Thanks for the post.
