That was the common thinking before Lebanon threatened to defend their soveriegnty against an Israeli ground incursion. If they really wanted Hezaballah out they would be partnering with Israel. I believe most Lebanese want a free country though. Meaning free of Syria too.

Yikes maybe that was a joke? Although...Israel and Iran had all sorts of secret ties during the Carter years. What's really interesting is nobody has cut Israel's tap line yet. So whatever diplomacy is involved to get Israel their oil is still intact.
