The thing is that sometimes there is a clash between interests of neighbouring states, and such is the horrible human nature that countries go to wars (that often end with both sides losing while winning nowt). What I'm trying to say here is that Lebanon too often finds itself in wars they have no national interests in. Unfortunately, unless Lebanese are courageous enough to take responsibility over their country this isn't going to change, and I'm not sure how your testosteronic comment about killing Israelis comforts you.
