roachboy, point taken.
I do not take the current situation as simply as I put it. Sorry for the rants.
I have very strong opinions agianst the way Isreal has dealt with the Palastinians, and continue to do so. For expample, their ever changing of the border lines and what they are willing to give back.
I understand that if the goal is never clear, then the goal can never be reached, unless Isreal said it has been reached, that is the fault of the Isrealies, and the Palastinians are rightfully upset.
To the point of this post.
A cease fire of the Hezbollah fighters will only last as long as it takes them to feel free to attack again (I don't believe they will agree anyway). The narrow issue of a cease fire, is a nonstarter. If Isreal agrees, then the current PM will be forced to resign. Then, as democratic nations do, they will elect a replacement. It will be a hawk, unlike the current PM in power, and the outcome could be devastating.
My hope is that Hezbollah, refuses a cease fire and Isreal takes control of southern lebanon, until and international force can be brouhgt in.
Back to the original question (again), if a cease fire is agreed upon. My opinion is that Nassrallah will claim victory publicly, and it will be wdely accepted as truth in the arab world. There for ensuring that it will not last long.
Please understand, I have no dog in this fight, other than, I think poeple are not framing the conflict in proper terms. That is incredibly dangerous.
