It is amazing how you justify the killing of civilians and the destruction of civilian targets because of some terrorist group that doesn't even represent the will of a nation.
The only thing wrong with that statement of Mob Boss's is that no one said they should do nothing, they just don't agree with what they are doing now, it sounds good at first, but then when you think about it it's actually not referring to anyone here 
Israel really doesn't have a lot of options here. They seem to cling to some hope that Hezbollah hasn't killed the soldiers yet, so they bomb infrastructure to hamper this effort.
Israel does not want to risk more troops, thus its response is limited to a big air and naval operation. There may have been options through more clandestine means, but I do not think the world would respond any better if the Mossad were bombing cars rather than the IDF bombing bridges.
Remember that Israel has not been very well-served by its Lebanese allies in the last 25 years or so.

If CNN is correct, there are thousands of troops and tanks being massed on the border and Israel has told Lebanese civilians to move north, 25 miles, which is just past the Litani river. It seems to be a serious ground assault.

I feel this was always the only option - ie ground assault. Though I am sad for loss of chance for Lebanese and Israeli to work on this together.
Good luck and get the bastards

Lebanon is also stating that their army will fight with Hezbollah if Israel launches a major ground assualt.
Makes no sense to me. First, they didn't even control that portion of the country. And if they can fight Israel, then there's no excuse for them not having at least attempted to disarm Hezbollah.
