#1 Reconstruction of Lebanon sounds an awful lot like reconstruction of New Orleans.

"We want to build but they wont let us."
'politics is at the heart of the problem.'
'accuse the government of adding red tape'
'political wrangling... has raised ~~racial~~ sectarian tensions'

#3 Reconstruction of Lebanon sounds an awful lot like reconstruction of New Orleans.

And equally worthwhile. It's so hard to decide which should be completed first.

#5 Lebanon has a metastasized cancer growing within it called Hizb'Allah. Nothing will happen until the cancer is removed. End of story. The Israelis had the chance to envelop Hizb'Allah and they failed to carry out their plan. But the task still has to be done.

#6 AP
Metastatic cancers are generally susceptible only to chemo or radiation therapy.

#8 The analogy still stands, the devil is in the details. Take your choice: any and all, surgery, chemo, radiation. Whatever is done, it will not be pleasant, but it will be necessary.

#9 Beit means "bath" in Arabic and Turk. Sounds like a good place for a US missile base. After a hard day of targeting Arab terror centers, operatives could use a hot bath and rub down by lovely Arab houris.
