WHO WON THE WAR?

Nobody seems happy. (Boston Globe) From Time Magazine: Everyone is claiming victory. But there's a lot more left of Hizballah's fighting ability than Israel and the U.S. had hoped. And the cease-fire may just be a temporary time-out. (Time) From Michael Medved: If nothing else, it's vastly preferable to see a UN-Lebanese force along the northern border than to look at the bloodthirsty maniacs of Hezbollah, massed and dug in just steps away from Israeli soil. The claims of Hezbollah triumph, by the terrorists themselves and by some of Israel's well-meaning but deluded friends, only assist the Shiite fanatics in their desperate attempt to snatch victory from the jaws of a painful defeat.

Again, I have to chalk this one up to the Hezzies. Israel didn't do what needed to be done, and even with both hands tied behind their backs, they were STILL cast as the brutal bad guys.

The two soldiers that the Hezzies captured that started this whole thing have not been released.

As long as the west continues to fight by the war equivalent of the Marquis of Queensberry Rules while the enemy fights to win, we shall NEVER see a true victory.

The world already hates and has no respect for us and Israel. Why are we still trying to win their approval?

If we would have acted like this in WW2, we'd be speaking German! Instead, the allies bombed Dresden, Augsburg, Kobe, Tokyo, and many other cities, not to mention what we did to Hiroshima and Nagasaki! Do what needs to be done, or one day we very well may end up Dhimmis!!!

I agree.

Israel wasn't 'allowed' to do what needed to be done.

This idea that force must be met with similar force is absolute nonesense. Want to move the chair, exert MORE force on it than it exerts by friction on the floor and it goes the way you want.
