I only wish this was possible. Unfortunately, no one wanted to work with the Americans at the G8. We of course stood by them, with Harper taking an firmer stance than they did on Israel's right to defend itself, but that is not enough support for what you advocate.
Taking the war directly to Iran and Syria may not be the easiest course of action, but it definitely should have been on the table. Russia, along with other members of the G8, remained critical of Israel only to vex the Americans. They did not even look at the situation in the middle east; they anticipated the American reaction and took a critical stance accordingly.
Israel will have to settle for attacking Hezbollah in Lebanon, since there is too much division in NATO for American support. It is enough to make Presidents curse and Jr.Members change their signatures, since the real enemies are Syria and Iran.
