#1 Hizbollah is an attack entity. If Israel did not exist, those animals would attack other countries. They are like vermin, and should be so treated.

#2 Does no country "carpet bomb" anymore?
I think this place would be prime for the technique.

#3 Israel doesn't have any B-52s, or other heavy bombers. Traditionally, they're required for "carpet bombing".

Carpet bombing's never been particularly useful against well-constructed bunker complexes, anyways. It's more of the sort of thing you use for armies in the open, field fortifications, or civilian populations. If you could carpet-bomb bunker complexes, we could have bombed North Korea sensible, instead of always holding back for fear of the artillery-bunker complex north of Seoul.

#4 The "civilian population", which is the Hezbs, is exactly what needs to be totally destroyed here. Since there will be no UN forces appearing, I suggest Condi & Bolton introduce a new resolution, which they're so good at, to depopulate Lebanon to Litani River until final understnding can be reached.

#5 Load up a squadron F-15s with 12,000 pounds of bombs each and you got yourself a dandy little carpet bombing business.
