Michael Young makes sense. Nasrallah has launched a war without a by-your-leave to the other 2/3 of Lebanon. If you do that, you had better win, and win fast, which is why Nasrallah needs a quick cease-fire that would leave him armed and in a position to claim victory.

Condi Rice seems to be quite cleverly denying him that cease-fire, by arranging a consensus around the idea that going back to the status quo ante is not acceptable. If it's not acceptable, then it becomes a question of who disarms Hizbullah, Israeli forces or NATO forces? Not surprisingly, NATO would rather the Israelis do it. So this puts off demands for the immediate cease-fire. I must say I'm surprised.

Once the shooting does stop, Nasrallah is going to face the wrath of the rest of Lebanon.
