1) We have no idea who committed that attack, for all we know it could have been outside agitators(cough,Saudis,cough), 2) This is a civil war, where everyone who is fighting it, sucks. 3) I am not willing to risk more blood and treasure. 4) What happens after the attack and Hezbollah launches attacks inside Lebanon and commits missile attacks into Haifa, do we strike Lebanon?
