Cease Fire
As I'm sure most of you know, we are mere hours away from the most useless cease fire ever! There are many, many, problems with the cease fire. The major one being that it is really impossible to have a cease fire with a terrorist group. Lots of members of the group operate independently and I don't think the so-called Hezbollah leadership could stop them if they wanted to. Aside for that glaring error, the cease fire also manages not to even remotely solve anything in the first place. It does not require the return of the kidnapped Israeli soldiers (which should have been the first god damn thing on the list), nor does it make any provisions for disarming Hezbollah. The U.N. "peace-keeping" force that will be inserted into southern Lebanon doesn't have the authority to do much of anything. There job is essentially to stand around and watch everything go to shit again. All this cease fire does is buy Hezbollah time to get rearmed and reorganized before they attack Israel again. And you can bet when that happens we will once again have a dramatic outcry about how agressive Israel is being when they respond. I can not fathom why Israel would accept this deal aside from the fact that they obviously need to get themselves a new Prime Minister.
