...there's a fighting chance things aren't over.
Hizbollah says:
"We are before a strategic and historic victory, without any exaggeration," Nasrallah said. "We emerged from the battle with our heads high, and our enemy is the one who is defeated."
Juxtaposed with comments from our President:
"There's going to be a new power in the south of Lebanon," Bush said.
Does Hizbollah know this? The discrepancy here is quite impressive. As "History is a set of lies agreed upon by the victors," methinks the victors--both of them--are lying.
Bush said the U.N. cease-fire resolution was "an important step forward that will help bring an end to the violence."
Peace is not the absence of war, and, as the cause of the conflict has not been removed, the cease fire will be temporary. It is a good start, but one shouldn't be overly optimistic. Nothing has been resolved, and until it has, we should hope for lasting peace, but avoid being so foolish as to expect it.

Pretty obvious positioning by both sides. Bush is clearly having trouble keeping his conflicts straight.you can just imagine him staring at a big map before going to bed tring to get it.You are right about treating the symptoms instead of dealing with the disease.This isnt going away.Carter and Clinton had chances to put together a meaningful peace and bowed to Zionist pressure.Now it is far more difficult.Fools.
I don't like to believe that the leader of the free world is a complete idiot, but his actions make it hard to believe otherwise. Why on earth did we elect this man?
