Good. The Israelis are willing to look reality in the face and take action.

This is not reasonable, this is an act of war by Israel, unprovoked by the Lebanese government. The innocents will suffer, that´s the problem. Of course I understand the security needs of Israel, and Syria has to set free the hostages immediately. But they should bomb Assads palace, and not punish those who can´t do nothing about it.

Looks like a systematic search throughout southern Lebanon. They will no doubt find a lot of vermin.

You don't understand. On this forum its usual to call for
nuking and bombing everything as the first course of action.

Usually the ones calling for this don't have relatives there, don't have colleagues there, and don't work or
travel there.

I know, but I´m trying to put a more reasonable perspective on that. The expressed feelings (hatred for Hizbollah) are understanable, it´s just that those advocating the worst-case as the first response don´t think of the consequences or of other less brutally alternatives.

Do they have the ships to do this? I know that Israel has subs, but beyond that I know little of the Israeli navy.

If the blockade and the pressure from the G-8 meeting not will produce results next week the Syrian air force is no more...

I don't think there's a single Arab nation with the balls to declare war openly on Israel and the means to do something about it.
