if i knew you would react that way, half knowledge and so on, i would not have asked you teh question at all! but since i intiateed it, let me just reinstate myself politely ok? arab nations have stated that they are willing to accept israel if it goes back to pre 1967 borders. now these people are the leaders. they are the offical leaders of the middle east. they are the ones who can implemet real change and ease tensions. hezbolah, i realize does not belong to its category. extreme terrorist groups like hezobolah and al quada want israel to be wiped out, and that is not only impossoible but unreasonble as well. i realize that big time. my above statement about talks bewteen teh groups was directed more at solving the crisis not just for now, but settleing the dispute with all toher arab nations as well. i am implaying may be israel should agree to go back to its pre 1967 borders. i really do hope it does not take control over south lebanon this time around....... as for this particular scenario, hezbollah has been demanding that lebanese prisoners be freed since israel has kept them in its prison for such a long time. rather than risk the lives of innocent civilisn in its countless bombing, what i am suggesting is that maybe, maybe, israel should give up lebanese soldeirs, save its citizens as well as lebanese citizens. may be those prisoners have commmited heinous crimes, but keeping them at the sake of thoussands of innocent lives in not worth is what i am suggesting. and yes, i am aware that syria pulled out recently, hezbollah is not officially supported by the lebanese government, hezbollah's arms are unauthorized since it does not belong to the lebanese army. thank you, i have done my homework. and your last statment, that iran (although i find iran's leadership sick to the core), created this mayhem to divert the world's attention from its nuclear program is as much of a conspirary theory as the one that says this chaos was a joint effort by US and israel to attack lebanon.
