We could do this but it would bankrupt us.

If we help the Sunnis in Lebanon, we gain a lot of leverage with the larger Sunni faction in the Middle East who are deeply concerned with the current situation in Lebanon, specifically Jordan and Saudi Arabia.

Picture of the Day:

The shadow of a Lebanese child playing soccer is seen, in front of the road-block set by Hezbollah and other Shiite militiamen on the highway leading to the international airport of Beirut, Lebanon, Wednesday, May 14, 2008. Earlier Wednesday anti government factions opened a path for the motorcade of the high-powered Arab League delegation to help mediate an end to street confrontations that have claimed more than 50 lives.

Of course, I am the biggest footballer you will ever find.
