Correct, to a point. a.) Even the idiot that runs the UN admonished Hezbollah for hiding among innocent civilians. 2.) Carpet bombing would cheaper for Israel and have a higher physological effect on the locals.

Again, correct, to a point. Not a single Arab Jew, Christian or Hindu supported Hezbollah. It was only the Muslim Arabs that provided support to Hezbollah. Iran and Syria continue to provide arms and supplies.
If you want to know how bad this situation may become, take a look at this
ABC News story.
Here is another way of looking at this. Imagine _____ (you fill in the name), the worst possible extreme right winged religious leader in the US becomes President for 20 years. That is exactly what we have with the radical Muslims. They are accountable to no one and they will find a way to exert their will.
And to be clear, their will is "convert" or "die."
