Fair Point?

Not even close to reality. The 911 attacks were a conspiracy by 19 people (which btw was detected by a military intelligence group Able Danger...only our bureaucratic miscommunication didn't do anything about it.) Hezbollah is equivalent to a political party of the Lebanese government operating in open public. And if Lebanon is too weak to remove such elements, then let Israel do what it's doing. They are going so far as to warn Lebanon to evacuate this building or that ahead of time because they are going to hit it. They also drop leaflets into neighborhoods for the same effect. And remember, we can stop 99 out of 100 terrorists plots (and have stopped a few recently, like in Canada, Miami, New York, etc.) but they only need that one to succeed to further their cause.
