That's what I kept thinking when people were screaming about the airport taking a hit. Israel practically invented the "Diplomaticniceguys" routine. Lebanon will end up in better financial shape then ever by the time all the aid packages and rebuilding efforts get finished. Israel will probably even assist the Lebanese government in beefing up their military capablities so they're not so defenseless in the future. Plus new offices for Nasrallah's hoodlums.
