The problem. . . One of the problems is the dearth of choices. There are no good outcomes, and it extremely difficult to even say that one is clearly “less bad.”

Sometimes you have to do things you’d much rather not, in order to prevent an even greater harm from occuring. Look around the Blogosphere and you’ll see that the Lebanese are blaming the civilian deaths on Hezbollah. They get angry enough they may figure it’s better to fight back and take some terrorists with them.
Hezbollah: You run, you die.
Israel: You stay, you die.
Lebanon: We run we die. We stay we die. The Israelis aren’t here, so we can’t strike back at them. But you are here, so we can strike back at you.

Hezbollah: That’s not in the script!

However, it doesn’t appear to be working out that way, and it was alwyas rather unlikely that such a script was ever going to be followed.
Instead, many Lebanese are looking to Hezbollah as the only armed defense against Israel, and that is not a good development.
