I'm afraid it will cause a regional tension and later on become world's problem like those ww1 & ww2. Any idea to stop it once and for all?

The best thing the USA can do is STAY THE HELL OUT OF IT! If we side with the Isrealis then the parts of the Islamic world that dont hate us yet will start to hate us.End result being more attacks on Americans by pissed of Islamics.
If we side with the Lebanese (which will never happen). Then our politicians will start to feel pressured by all the Jewish-Americans with lots of money to conrtibute to political campaigns. This is a war of religious ideals. The very reason why America, a nation that is secular in its ideals, has no place in getting involved with this. Let them fight it out. If Isreal gets wiped off the map then its thier own fault for being so aggresive when they geographically sit in a very Arab-Islamic corner of the world surrounded by Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia etc..
If Lebanon's infrastructure is ripped apart and they find themselves being occupied by Isreali forces, then they have no one to blame but themsleves for letting Hezzbolah throw them into this conflict.

Things were going ok in the area, and were on a decent track of peace, until a little while ago. Israel was returned gaza to the palestinians and everything, but the palestinian authority could not keep the terrorists under control.
Likewise, lebanon was a forward moving country, but there hezbollah has engrained itself as a political party... and lebanon obviously cant control hezbollah and force them to return the two captured soldiers.
The ONLY way to solve this situation is very very obvious: control the terrorists. Sounds hard, but were going about it all wrong.
Terrorist organizations gain widespread local (civilian) support by providing goods and services that the state refuses, or cannot afford, to supply. For example, hezbollah operates many hospitals in lebanon, a critical community service, and in that way the citizens "owe" their support to the organization.
All they need to do to whip the rug of support from under the terrorists is invest more in the communities of these at-risk nations. It doesnt take much... just enough that the civilians dont need to look to the terrorists for support, and once that happens, they wont put up with them. they just want to live out their lives in peace, but theyre forced to shelter the terrorists because of what they provide to people.

You ask some very good questions. The situation is far older than this present conflict. It goes back hundreds, if not thousands of years. I think the best solution is for a cease-fire to be put into place. I think Israel has a right to defend itself, but not at the cost of innocent life. These people are fleeing from their homes with little else but the clothes on their back. I just hope a solution is found before all out war breaks out in the region.

The UN and NATO need to be involved and put a stop to Hezbollah's use of Lebanon as a staging ground for their insurgency. Hamas should also be governed (by UN and NATO) on how they handle being the next door neighbor of Israel...and their anti-semetic insurgent butts should be kept in check.
These insurgents are all about doing to Israel today what Hitler did to Jews in WW2. That cannot be tolerated in todays world. It shouldn't have been tolerated way back then either. I find it extremely horrifying that these insurgents hate people that aren't like them so much that they wish death and destruction on them by any means necessary. That is they type of mentality we are fighting in Afghanistan and Iraq right now, and it's a plague that is growing. Eradicate it we must, or we all will be exterminated in concentration camps of the insurgence choice.

First The Palestinian state must be made secure (actually it was coming to reality until the kidnappings) and their people must be given good enough welfare. Then Lebanon's south must be developed to give their citizens a modern yet decent life. This should cure the problem of the Palestinian/Lebanese civil support for Hamas.
As for Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Hezbollah and all the members of Osama and Fiends...hang them. They must not exist in this world otherwise any peace process will be surely sabotaged.

Yes, create a balance of power. Arm the Lebanese and the Palestinians with forces equivalent to Israel. It will play itself out in a month, then they can also get 50 years of cold war.

Seriously, it's none of our business. Let them handle it. If they blow eachother off the map, it won't be a problem, now will it?
