#2 Nuke Iran... in Beirut.

Seriously, there may actually be a legal issue here, but I doubt Lebanon can put enough pressure on ANYONE to force their own judgment to be accepted over those of Israel. International laws governing national borders state that the borders extend outward from the littoral equally between the two nations. IF there are gas deposits in Lebanese waters, Lebanon has equal right to tap the deposits within their territorial waters as Israel has to tap reserves found in THEIR territorial waters. I don't think Lebanon is going to be pleased with the international decisions made regarding these deposits, but that's life.
