Oh heck Nadine, get real. Even Israeli citizens are having a hard time explaining what the heck the IDF is doing.

It's absurd. Just a few weeks ago it was, 'destroying Hezbollah' and then it morphed to 'disarming Hezbollah' and now it will be, what, 'making peace between Israel and Hezbollah.'

People keep yammering that this is a problem of the MIND. How in the world do you change someone's mind by killing their family members or demolishing their homes?

It's absurd. It's thuggish. Most of all it's ineffective.

'Beatings will stop when morale improves' ...sure that works.

"...In response to the draft resolution, British Prime Minister Tony Blair said "this is a first step. There is still much to be done. But there is no reason why this resolution should not be adopted now and we have the cessation of hostilities ... within the next couple of days....

Bolton said the resolution would be the first of two. He said this one deals with the immediate issue of the fighting. The second would likely spell out a larger political framework for peace between Israel and Hezbollah...."
