 Lebanon Postpones Crucial Cease-Fire MeetingPosted on Aug 13, 2006The Lebanese cabinet has indefinitely postponed talks on the implementation of the impending cease-fire between Israel and Hezbollah. According to the BBC, “the issue of Hezbollah’s disarmament and its military presence in southern Lebanon continues to cause major tensions within the fragile government.” It remains unclear how effective this cease-fire will be, with Hezbollah vowing to fight as long as Israeli soldiers remain in Lebanon and Israel vowing to stay in Lebanon until a peacekeeping force can take its place.

There is no way that Hezbollah will be disarmed and I don’t think they should be unless Israel disarms.

Israel is beyond redemption and has no standing outside of the USA
—-but Hezbollah is not strong enough to take the Israeli onslaught. It needs to remobilize and do hit and run tactics. It also needs to get the Shia population back to its homes. Nazrallah has shown himself to be a masterful leader and public spokesman. This might be the beginning of the end for Israel. Fascism is an outmoded ideology.

But, there can’t be any problems! CNN is running a ticker counting down the seconds until the ceasefire starts. You can’t tell me they are doing this merely to create a story, can you?

Israel has a tiger by the tail ... it can’t hang on forever and it can’t let go without help.
28 Israeli soldiers killed in the last 48 hours according to CNN a little over an hour ago.
Until Israel pulls out or we (the USA) somehow get Syria to cut a deal to not allow Hezbollah to be resupplied, this is going to escalate. The only questions are how fast and how far.
Personally, I think Israel has set in motion three more generations of conflict ... the fathers, the sons, and the sons’ sons. We’ve had almost 60 years of conflict since the founding of the State of Israel in 1948, and we can easily now have 60 more years.
Unless, of course, all this chaos triggers a real uprising in the Middle East and the people do take over their countries ... then it could be over in 60 hours ... and the jellyfish can try again.
