I do wish the IDF had handled things differently, but what's done is done. I take comfort in the words in Sun Tzu:

"Therefore, analyze the enemy's plans so that you will know his shortcomings as well as strong points. Agitate him in order to ascertain the pattern of his movement. Lure him out to reveal his dispositions and ascertain his position. Launch a probing attack in order to learn where his strength is abundant and where deficient."

What the IDF has learned this summer (about themselves as well as about Hezbollah) may come in handy in the near future.

Interesting choice by Israel and Halutz. Gen Doron Almog was hounded out of the UK on specious "war crimes" charges brought under so called international law by Palis and their leftist comrades.

...................

"Mr Sharon was referring to the near-arrest of General Doron Almog, a former Israeli army commander, at Heathrow Airport on Sunday, and the decision of General Moshe Yaalon, the army's former chief of staff, not to attend a speaking engagement in London this weekend because of fears that he too might be arrested.

Israeli military chiefs have been alarmed by the lawsuit filed on behalf of Palestinian victims of alleged war crimes committed by the IDF in 2002 and the issuing of an arrest warrant for General Almog - who stayed on his plane and returned to Israel after being tipped by embassy staff in London."
