If it stops now, the Hezbies in southern Lebanon are all wound up with no place to go.
Who will they revenge on?
Hey, I said IF they were smart. I'm not counting on it. But if I were Nasarallah i'd have everyone stand down melt into the southern lebanon back ground and play this game another day. There will be plenty of time for revenge later, this has been going on since 48' after all.
And they've still got their hostages. If I were them, I'd do some high fivin' for a couple of weeks, and then start shooting missiles again.
There something to be said for Hezbollah standing down, militarily they are in a world of hurt.
But they just now got the whole Islamic world wound up over them, so strong and brave, standing up to the Satan twins the way they have...
...and now they're just going to walk away with Israel massacre-ing four or five hundred disabled children? Or was it five thousand, I get so confused?
The Muslims are HOT.
Let that kind of energy build up with no way to dissipate it and they can turn on you, very quickly.
Remember how they took it when Hero Saddam was pulled out of a rat-hole?
I don't pretend to know how Muslim minds work, but I know potential energy when I see it, and that kind of energy will find an outlet if it can, so at the very least, Hezbollah has some conflicting circumstances to deal with.
