Re: oh, great
What exactly is a proportionate response? Kidnapping Lebanese soldiers and offering to trade them?
Why would Israel need to do this?
You do know one of the reasons why Hezbollah kidnapped the two Israelis was to exhange for some of the thousands of Lebanse that Israel has held prisoner for years?
There was an interview with the father of one of the two kidnapped soldiers on BBC News today - he said that Israel has made prisoner exchanges many times in the past, so it's clear Israel's agenda is not just getting the two soldiers back.

Re: disproportionate
Hezbollah has it in their power to return the soldiers and get out of Southern Lebanon whenever they like.
You make it sound like Hezbollah has somehow invaded Sothern Lebanon - it's their region of their country. Obviously not everyone in the area is a Hezbollah supporter but they basically are part of the local population.
Still, given that the rest of your post makes it clear you are willing to commit genocide to achieve your aims I suppose it's not suprising you're in favour of a bit of ethnic cleansing as well.
If they're ever caught maybe you can exchange notes with Mladic and Karadzic.

Re: Luke 22:36
Luke 22:38
And they said, Lord, behold, here are two swords. And he said unto them, It is enough.
Jesus clearly advocates a proportionate use of force...
