The likely outcome will probably a UN monitored border between lebanon and israel
ahahha, cause the UN was so effective this time. laugh.
Yeh, theyve been there for 30 years and havent done jack.Gee, don't you think that the UN would have to have troops there to be effective? They've done a good job with the golan heights and i see no reason why they can't do the same for southern lebanon's border.

WarMachine said:UN troops can succeed if they are provided with proper assistance of host nations and international cooperation is good
Chief Bones said:Hezbollah and Hamas's intransigence against Israel and the Israeli people left Israel's government and military little choice
Ollie Garchy said:This is the ball-breaker. I find it hard to deny the necessity of military action. If you think about what the IDF can accomplish, however, an improved position is not on the horizon. Israel is just returning to the old occupation doctrine that made everything worse in the first place. I wish that we could find and destroy Hezbollah and Hamas. Or at least convince them to find real employment. But invasion or surgical strikes are not the answer. They have been tried before...on numerous occasions.
I am thinking something that I probably should not write. It could well be that the neutralization of Iran and Syria promises the best prospects for peace. But an escalation of Middle East tensions is certainly a dangerous road to travel. It could well be, however, that Israel has already decided to start a major war. I hope not. Maybe the US should stop giving Tel Aviv blank cheques and start real negotiations by forcing Israel to step back. Think about what Iran or Syrian involvement would mean for US forces in Iraq.
Remember, I am only going through the scenarios in my head.
