As southern Lebanon is turned into a wasteland mirroring the Gaza gulag, Washington neo-cons may stridently celebrate the contours of a final solution for the Hamas-Hezbollah "problem". Or should they?
Israel's feverish military machine at least conveys the impression it knows exactly what it's doing - with its made-in-the-USA bombs destroying not just military but civilian targets. But this does not mean Israel is winning its war against Hezbollah.
What Israel wants
In March, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert promised that he would officially announce Israel's "new" and in theory "final" borders before 2010. Olmert has committed his government to finish the wall separating Israel from Palestine. Israel will then retreat inside its wall. There was never any intent by Olmert to deal with the duly elected government of Palestine led by Hamas.
As far as Lebanon is concerned, Israel wants nothing less than a permanent buffer zone on its northern flank. And if Lebanon turns into an Iraq, even better - although the Lebanese have learned the hard way about sectarianism and won't "Iraqify" their own country. Beirut will be rebuilt - again, and again the Hariri clan (with its dodgy deals with the US and the Saudis) will plunge Lebanon in further debt purgatory with regard to the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank, as the clan did in the previous reconstruction process.
There's also the all-important matter of the waters of the Litani River in southern Lebanon. Israel might as well prepare the terrain now for the eventual annexation of the Litani.
Beyond Lebanon, Israel is mostly interested also in Syria. The motive: the all-important pipeline route from Kirkuk, in Iraqi Kurdistan, to Haifa. Enter Israel as a major player in Pipelineistan.
So Israel wants to grab water (and territory) from Palestine, water (and territory) from Lebanon and oil from Iraq. This all has to do with the inevitable - the 21st-century energy wars.
Here is a taste of how they do it:

fyi - israel is in fact defending itself. i would get my facts straight before you make a fool out of yourself on the internet.
lebanon has been attacking israel for no reason continuously. until one day they stole 2 soldiers. israel said this is the last straw cause they wouldnt give the soldiers back. so israel attacked to also kill lebanon's terrorist group. which by the way even the lebanese government does not like and is glad israel is doing this.
also, israel sends billions of flyers saying to evacuate the area because they will bomb the area. so whoever stays knows something will happen and they are risking their lives.

About the same number of Israeli civilians killed by suicide bombers. why is everyone so uptight. Hamas and Hezbollah have been asking for a fight. now they got it. why are they so scared now? is it because their getting their wigs pushed back? the Israelis have been dropping leaflets letting the civilian population know that an attack is imminent. why do they stay? how many of those so called civilians are just fighters in street cloths? i hope Israel wipes them of the map so that the USA wont have to.

Let Hezbollah lay down it's arms and leave Israel alone. Release the prisoners and you will have peace. Why are they hiding with civilians?why are the civilians letting them hide amongst them? Step back and look at the facts!!!

the international press isn't in contact contained in the very undeniable actuality that daily Israel has to look after herself against the rockets conveniently lobbed from land given up by them in a lot of cases. Why do you assume Israel to position down her hands and under no circumstances the Palestinians? If Hamas laid down their hands there ought to correctly be peace yet when Israel laid down their hands they could be overrun and destroyed it is the avowed motive of Hamas. replaced into Israel in the back of each and every of the terrorist attack as you've us trust - get your data looked after out from the propoganda.

Figure this one out: Why doesn't Hezbollah hand over the two soldiers and back away from the Lebonese border, which would end the fighting over there? Maybe...because they want this fight?? Think about it before you spout off.

only half as many as have died in iraq in the same time period. we don't hear much about them now because the iraqis don't control the us news media.
