#1 A lot of God damn good the U.N. resolution is going to do. Israeli might as well scrap the resolution now and get on with the war.

#4 Make Black Lebanese a hard to come by commodity. Dope and illicit goods seem to be funding a lot of this crap. It's not all Iranian oil profits.

#5 Now I'm no expert in high-stakes international diplomacy, but is it possible that the Syrians are continuing to supply Hezbollah because there have been no negative consequences for them doing that so far? I'm just wondering.

#7 Israel has in the past years destroyed some terrorist camps in Syria, and Syria didnt retaliate. So, in a time of war, Syria continuing to resupplie Hezbollah, why didnt Olmert order the IDF to bomb the Syrian airports, on which are landing the Iranian airplanes loaded with weapons ?

Oh, sorry... I just forgot that Olmert is... Olmert.

#8 ... is it possible that the Syrians are continuing to supply Hezbollah because there have been no negative consequences for them doing that so far?

That about buttons it up, WCR. This is why both Iran and Syria should be moved to the top of our Christmas list. The mullahs are long overdue for their hayride to hell and ~~Carne~~ Assad needs a good flaming. Until the civilized world attaches a significantly higher price tag to toleration or collusion with terrorists (instead of a massive influx of foreign aid ... see the Palestinian Terrortories), we'll only get more of the same. If this means catching Indonesia with its sarong down after a tsunami or Pakistan unbeturbaned after a massive earthquake, so be it. If it simply requires going in and breaking the bad boys' toys (or economic infrastructure), so be it. If it requires lobbing a few dozen cruise missiles into Tehran's, Khartoum's or North Korea's full-session statehouse, let's start now.

The past few decades of isolationist appeasment have gotten us less than nowhere. We have actually managed to back-slide in light of weapons proliferation and our military's inability to take on opponents utilizing asymmetrical warfare. The intermediate threat-level of China must be relegated to its proper backseat and all due attention given to the Islamists who desperately need a quick elevator-drop to hell.

#10 I hope that Syria does attack into the Golan.

Thats exactly what is needed - becuase it will be the trigger for Israel to finally destroy the Alawite Shai government in Damascus that has been the proximate source of all this (the indirect but ultimate source are the Shia Mullahs and thier theocracy in Iran).
