I am still not okay so I will talk about things that matter more than me.

I don't know what's up with Israel and Lebanon. I know Israel won't talk to Lebanon because the Hezbollah are basically in charge, but how is bombing each other repeatedly going to help? How does that make the Israeli government any better than terrorists, if the terroristic Hezbollah are essentially their own government?

We can't stay in Iraq because if we do, we'll be there forever. Handing off one Iraqi province (and having multiple deaths occur because of that or just simultaneously) is such a small part of what we need to do before we can leave. The Iraqi people, many of them at least, believe that another dictatorship is inevitable. They're not working with this democracy framework we're trying to force. They're just sitting there, waiting to blown up by another tyrant. However, we can't leave Iraq because if we do they may just end up like Lebanon, ruled by terrorists, and we may just end up like Israel, trying to solve problems by bombing and bombing. And maybe this whole thing is like Vietnam, and all the bombing won't do much because the terroristic operations are so spread out and diverse. It never helped to bomb Hanoi. It's too unstable to leave. We can't stay. What the heck are we supposed to do?!
