>Because in 2000 Israel pulled completely out of Lebanon and look what good that did.

True, but Hezbollah is not Hamas, and Hezbollah is not in control of all of Lebanon, as the Palestinians would be of the West Bank. Obviously there would have to be a lot of provisions for the safety of Israel from the international community. Also, so far as Lebanon, what is being accomplished? Are things really any different now from when Israel occupied southern Lebanon?
