You got nothing.

"decrease Hezbollah's power." Not bad. Do they have a rheostat somewhere for doing this?

Will you use military action? If so, how will you do it better than Israel, given Hezbollah's integration into the civilian infrastructure?

No military action? Then what? Bribes, like Israel pulling out of Lebanon? Again?

"cooperation and encouragement?" What does that mean exactly? Where does the cooperation and encouragement come in with a terror group?

Are you aware that the leader of Hezbollah says he cleared his actions with the Lebanese government?

I'm not attacking Kerry for supporting the destruction of Hezbollah. I'm attacking him for being an idiot, who has no better idea of how to "destroy" Hezbollah than you have for "decreasing its power."

His statement is another in a long line of empty, painfully obvious, gaseous speeches common to politicians, like "we should make sure everyone has health care," or "we need to educate our children."

We are facing the same problems in Lebanon that we are in Iraq: Militant groups who create their own "states" inside another country. You don't talk militants out of this. You defeat them. Lebanon needs to pick a side, and quickly.
