As I've posted before, I'm not so interested in the morality of the war in Lebanon. That way lies endless, unresolvable debate.
I'm more interested in the practicality. Are the Israelis doing what they need to do achieve their goals? Now that I see Israel sending 10,000 troops into Lebanon, I think they are moving in the right (practical) direction.
As for Hezbollah, they seem very practical. AFAIK they are doing exactly what they need to do to achieve their goals.

Practicality is what you want? Why didn't you say so. A total pragmatist would give nukes to Hezbollah and have them wipe out Israel, thus ending the conflict with the least number of casualties, and ending mideast conflict based solely on religion. Then the Shi'ia and the Sunni could fight it out without US involvement, and we could buy oil from the winner of that.
There's your practicality.
Pretty impractical in execution, just like Snowman's ideas.
