" I fear that this war may be over, and we just lost. '

This was never a war it just wasn't prosecuted as such.

We haven't lost but we have done ourselves and our children a disservice. You can't afford barbarians the courtesy of civilized behavior, it's taken as weakness and we will all pay for it. They will see it as a victory and they will use it to create living heros and as inspiration starting today.

It's a horribly short sided decision to apease those without the stomach to finish this. I wish I could say i was surprised, I'm not.I am disheartened though we will regret this Israel will feel it first but in the end we all will.

You guys act like the Hezzies are going to follow the "rules"...

Israel has already said that they WILL fight at any point if necessary. I am sure that the Israelis will be watching all of Lebanon closely.

You are correct, we and Israel will pay with many, many, many, more civilian lives than were lost in that airstrike. This capitulation may feel good right now to Condi, Israel, Blair and President Bush, but their citizens will pay like hell.

Not to mention our guys in Iraq.
