Re: Israel\'s Attack on Lebanon and Hezbollah
[ QUOTE ]
edit: subquestion: would Israel have much difficulty taking over/ taking out Syria entirely if they decided to go for it?
[/ QUOTE ] If israel actually chose to engage syria in a war on syrian soil they could, "take them out" pretty easily. that is to say that they could render the syrian armed forces useless fairly quickly. however, this scenario is highly unlikely. syria will not direclty threaten israel. the closest they come to doing so is allowing exiled hamas members to operate from syrian soil. I'm in damascus now, and a couple days ago a hamas high up in exile gave a speach and got some of the locals pretty fired up. however the syrian military is clownish compared to the israeli's.
