I know. If you read what I said, a country should police its own country - and I don't think Lebanon would do that in this case... and is why Israel has to.

And the Israeli snatch job is in response to the other Hezbollah rockets, after which they used your "It is a Police action" theory, to no success.

I see this as a bigger issue than simply the kidnap of a couple of soldiers. It's a statement - leave us alone (rockets / kidnapping / etc) or pay the price. They've absorbed about as much as they can. They've played nice and politically so far with no results. They decided it was time to change tactics, apparently.
