- Syria had been shelling Israel from the Golan for years - an invasion of Syria

- Wanted South Lebanon? For what? All of it's lovely inhabitants with shoulder
- launched rockets? If Israel wanted to keep S. Lebanon you would see lots of
- little settlements popping up there. As there are not and Israel has never
- expressed an interest in keeping it, I think that statement is quite false.
- If you don't call terrorist attacks across the border from Lebanon and
- katyusha attacks on Northern Israel, I don't know what you're thinking.
