Not that I want to post too many cynical, depressing, news/political posts, but I must follow-up on the Hezbollah-Israel ceasefire.
- Is this really supposed to work?
- The Lebanese army is going to contain Hezbollah, even though they couldn't before and that is why Israel went in in the first place?
- The UN is going to do what? I mean, in addition to what they're always able to accomplish.
- Iran and Syria are just going to accept disarmament of their up-and-coming punk fighter?
I really would like to hear some rational....or really any argument which supports Iran's stance against Israel. For the sake of argument, lets assume the state of Israel was a mistake and not right. Well, that was over 50 years ago and you can't just expect a whole nation of people to get up and go. Can you? Assuming this insane proposition would fly, where would they go?

It's messed up, Ski. But didn't the Brits and first Israelis pretty much kick-out one million Palestinians 60 years ago? Maybe the war in '48 had something to do with it to. My point only being that this might be Ahmadinejad's point of reference.
I don't profess to have answers. The sad fact though is that I think Hezbollah won this mini war. All they had to do was survive, especially Nasrallah. Israel, on the other hand, had a harder task. They needed to eradicate Hezbollah, or come pretty close to that, in order to come out on top. I don't think they've accomplished this.
As to the French-led international force stopping the flow of materiel to Hezbollah, not a makaka's chance in the Temple of Doom. A picture is worth a thousand words:

This silly misadventure in Iraq has so weakend our hands around the world. That and Bush's toxicity.
Re: the diplaced Palestininas, they were just moved aside. Where would the Israelis go? I suppose we could relocate them to Native American reservations?
