it won't destroy them and it's not any different then last time. what we are seeing now is yet another futile knee-jerk military response. regardless of intent, the primary impact will be civilian deaths...and every Arab that loses somebody then becomes another potential recruit for the cause of radical Islam. and on and on it goes.
Hezbollah is intertwined with the fabric of Lebanese society - unless you plan to kill them all, this latest incurion will solve nothing. as with every other military incursion in the Middle East for the last 60 years, this will simply perpetuate the cycle of violence.
it should be obvious by now that terrorism in the Middle East this cannot be eliminated militarily. if we had leadership with vision in this country, we might look toward the long-term goal of developing alternate fuel technology, which will ultimately render the Arab states (and Israel too) geopolitically irrelevant.
