I do hope Israel next time (and we all know there will be a next time), cleans house with Lebanon, does not leave the roots unbroken, they have to learn world opinion will not save their souls, and Iran and Syria will not stop providing armaments to Lebanon and its corrupt government. There is logic in the reasoning of why Lebanon, Iran and Syria lie to the world, it is like any liar, they have to, a lie says: I dont feel safe. The war should have gone on for another 30-days, this will only allow the enemy to regroup. Being half victorious is like winning 2nd place, and leaving 1st place open for future time, an armistice, and we can see what they do, just look at North Korea now blackmailing the world, or Germany in WWI, which the armistice, led to WWII, and Korea will soon have their May Day.

In the long run, it is a matter of saving lives, in the short run; it is of course, giving up a few more. Anyhow, time will tell. The United Nations saved the day for Lebanon; they did Israel no favors, like the world. Had not the USA stepped in to stop the flyovers, slowly but surely, the roots would have been torn out of the terrorist group. It was a good time for Israel to hit Damascus and Tehran also, knocks out three birds with one war, save the world a lot of terrorism in the future. If anything, we owe the Israel government our thanks, for a job half done, and perhaps for saving a lot of lives in the future.
