Note to hysteric know nothings and other knee jerk whiners. Israel was NEVER going to wage a war of genocide against all the Shi'a in Southern Lebanon as you so ardently wanted. Perhaps this hysteric whining and rush for the sack cloth and ashes MIGHT wait while we see what happens now?

It time the usual screamer learn the fundamental difference between a Counter Insurgency operation and Total War.Israel is not going to be able to wage a campaign of genocide against Hizzbollah. Their own public would not stand for it much less the world. That what I hear the Always Whining crowd complaining about. They keep confusing Counter Insurgency with Total War.

The standards of victory in Total War are utterly different. You conquer the foe's geographic base and dictate peace terms. Terrorists have no geographic base to conquer. You have to defeat their ideology. To do that you have to provide it's adherents with an alternative ideological vision. Either that or kill them all, women, children, old people. All. Somehow I doubt the same people who still weep about Dresden 61 years later are going to continence a war of extermination in Southern Lebanon.

This agreement is an attempt to destroy Hizzbollahs political base. Will it work? I don't know. But neither do any of the various Talking Heads screaming about the Cease Fire know it will NOT work either. We are forced to wait and see.
