Israel enters Lebanon

[derrida]

I wouldn't have a problem with this if Israel would just send in commandos (backed up by air support, obviously) rather that the current ineffective and needlessly deadly bombing campaign.

Either Isreali public opinion opposes risking military casualties, or, more likely, the Israeli military has fallen victim to the same "shock-and-awe" academic Air Force careerism that has plagued the US campaign in Iraq...
