You are all wrong. It's not about Isreal and Lebanon and Syria and Iran. It's about the Majestic 12 and the Illuminati. It's about money and power. Its a pissing contest between those with the money and the power. Ask yourself this, how can a country like Isreal, with nothing really going for it, support such military might? The answer is... funding. But who and why are good questions as well.
