#1 In past wars, counter-attack against the type of defenses that Hizbollah has devised, was effected through use of Napalm, which is no longer lawfully usable.

#3 Napalm is legally usable, just banned by US policy from US use. Also, the Marine Corps has a very nice incendiary bomb that is effectively the same thing, except that the formula is changed a touch to make it Not-Napalm. Flame weapons are not banned by the Geneva Conventions, nor is white phosphorous - stupid politicians in the West have restricted their use, simply for political gain.

#4 "Can you name a single instance in which U.N. peacekeepers actually kept the peace?"

IFOR perhaps or Cambodia after the kmer, mozambique or Namibia?

Course the fighting was over by then, but you get the point, anyhoo, is it just me or does the name romano prodi as a pm sound like the ieties are hankering after a historic past.
