>>I doubt any of us can be certain of Hezbollah's motives in crossing the border, killing Israeli soldiers, and taking two of them hostage. They are apparently heavily influenced by Iran, who has called for Israel to be wiped off the face of the map. The current situation certainly distract the rest of the world from Iran's nuclear ambitions, but I am not sure I understand how people think Israel should react. Allow their soldiers to be killed and kidnapped?

I still have trouble rationalizing that there are now also over 35 Israeli citizens DEAD when there originally were only 2 Israeli soldiers kidnapped.
I don't see how having 35 dead citizens and 350+ dead in Lebanon makes any sense.

On the other hand, I did see William Bennett say "I hate to sound flip, but give war a chance".
It's starting to look like war is, to too many, just some ho-hum event that has little impact on daily life.
