Of course you're right. Hizb'allah didn't install thousands of missiles for nothing and the land that floats on the Iranian Oil Ocean needs no nuclear power. Israel should have been allowed to destroy them but the entire West will need to see a lot more death to stop warring like boy scouts.
The Euro-Arab throw-the-Jews-overboard strategy (much loved, much tested, much disavowed, much fumigated) is likely to prolong the really aggressive phase of the cancer's advance and, as always, make it harder to battle when suddenly its at one's own flesh ("Oh dear me!" they'll say though I can smell it from here. Verily it could be smelled from the foot of the Cross that represents mere homicide for Jews, real Deicide for Christians: the dirtiest story never told). The Jews brought an idea, an idea of a free contract, a covenant, but rather than accepting mere good (and mortality -- ah! the rub!), the world wants transcendant perfection and now, every maw of hell will open its jaw to swallow all us mere imperfect mortals, Jew first, naturellement!
I should express some hope here I suppose. There is a possibility that sovereign nation-states will grow up and recognize that the preservation of the state is in their interest and therefore the protection of states whose policies may not, in their minds, be perfect, are worth preserving to maintain the only hope of negotiating matters between autonomous peoples.
A repeal of UN Security Council Resolution 1701 is the place to start. It is still unrealized how, in what way, this unanimously signed document killed -- and I repeat -- killed the United Nations.
