No it does not make me proud but you seem no to understand the main problem here:Hizbullah, Hamas and the rest of the muslim fanatics holding the sane population of the area hostage will not stop working until they annihilate Israel.They have declared so repeatedly and openly, rejecting attempts at diplomacy repeatedly except as a way to gain themselves time to prepare for further attack, for example when Hamas was elected Israel would probably have talked things over with it if they would have removed the parts of their charter calling for jihad and destruction of Israel, instead their announcements only grew more militant and extreme.Hizbullah hasn't stopped operations against Israel after the retreat of 2000 from all Lebanese soil, by UN resolution, instead of disarming itself and going on as a political party it continued shooting at Israeli soldiers, kidnapping them(and an Israely civilian) and generally thumbing its nose at UN resolution 1559, sometimes with the passive or active abettment of Unifil.

The only treaty the Hizbullah and Hamas will accept is one that includes our destruction.That result is unacceptable(at least to me), so we're stuck with fighting them until someone manages to find a way to make them wither and die, or change radically.I also recommend you read *this* (http://sandmonkey.org/2006/07/17/our-left-their-left/) before you continue, and take into account we've been at peace with Egypt for the last 20-30 years.
