your people on your planet are in charge

Mary, just because I questioned your proposal, that's no basis for you to conclude that I'm in sync with the folks who are running things. That's a common logical fallacy, one that is particularly inconsistent with a centrist framework. George Bush lives nowhere near my planet. Just because I'm not on your planet doesn't mean that I'm on his.

My original silly little proposal from another planet suggested that we bring in a heavyweight to negotiate a cease fire

You still don't seem to "get" the very basic and intuitively obvious notion that negotiating a cease fire requires negotiating with the folks who are doing the firing. One of those parties is Hezbollah. You don't have a cease fire until they quit firing. No proposal for a cease fire without that recognition gets off the ground.
