I am not very confident with the current Israeli leadership, Olmert and Peretz, they are weak. They are not willing to invade and stay for a while in Hizballah strongholds until the international forces arrive to create a buffer zone. If they do not do this, then Hizballah will be perceived as victorious.
They will declare victory in any case.
If it's not possible to attack Hizbollah in all their strongholds then it's not possible that anything more comes out of this war then a temporarily suppresion of missle fire That's certianly important for the people in Haifa - but lasts only until Iran leeks the next generation of Katyushas.
Why is Hizbollah allowed to have an office in Damaskus ?
This story will go on forever and neither jews nor christians nor muslims will benefit from it.
Lord help the people of haifa and beirut to get rid of those who preach hate.
I think Hizbellah will claim victory no matter what happens.
Isn't Saddam still claiming victory over the US from his cell? He claims to have won the Gulf War 1.
Israel needs Netanyahu now!
The Israeli government will fall in months, if not weeks.
