More fools speak up and reveal their incomprehension. Israel wants an effective UN force on their border. Bush and Rice and Blair were almost alone in not rushing into anything here allowing the Israelis to do what they wanted for weeks after the Chorus of the Clueless began to wail for "peace".
It is Israel which wanted a cease-fire NOT Bush. We only used our good offices to obtain what Israel wanted NOT the US. But to understand these things one must actually pay attention and analyze matters. Knee jerk reactions are not of much use.
I didn't realize that my knee had jerked...who knew? I read all I can every day to be better aware of the situation in the Middle East and think I have a clue now and then. The Israeli media was against a cease fire and so were many of their top military leaders. The cease fire came about due to US pressure, according to most Israeli sources I read. It all makes little difference as the Hezbollahs will never disarm and the UN will be powerless to make them do it. How did you become such an "expert" on matters in Israel?
