If you think that the pathetic UN is going to disarm Hezbollah after the Israelis wouldn't you are smokin' somethin'.

Then I guess we're all the way back to 1991.

If Hizbullah won't disarm, then Israel is unlikely to leave.

It all depends upon if Hizbullah, while pulicly proclaiming itself the winner, privately realizes that the next time, Israel won't be so lenient.

And I think the politics in Israel indicate this. Whoever replaces Olmert, it won't be someone more sympathetic to meeting their demands.

And from listening to the Lebanese President and Prime Minister over the past couple of days outright praising Hizbullah, the Israelis will be quite justified in equating an attack by Hizbullah as an attack by the Lebanese government.

We'll see.. there's a lot of bluster and ranting right now.

The Israeli newspapers are reporting that Hezbollah is openly carrying armaments back into South Lebanon and that the IDF has been ordered to not interfere with it.
