Agreed, it won’t work unless both factions stand down, and neither have, they stopped shooting, but didn’t stop on the rhetoric… Israel clearly had no easy time while fighting Hezbollah, and probable agreed a cease-fire to regroup and make a new strategy, since it’s currently strategy is not working.

The second you dismiss this August 22nd date it's going to come back and bite you in the ass. Look at the facts. Have you noticed an increase in airport, airplane, and military base bomb scares lately? Do you think it's just coincidence? I don't think so. Clearly this cease fire won't work.
Israel is trying to provoke Hezbollah to responding. It's the overall goal of the Bush administration to be dragged into war with Iran.
Maybe a “terrorist” attack backed by Iran? Maybe that would frighten the US people enough to allow yet another war…Bush’s support has gone down considerably, he might want to grab Iran, yet I doubt he’ll find enough support for that…
Something has to happen though before it is dragged into war.
I’d say no, unless they had any guarantee that the US wouldn’t be involved…which they don’t have. Bush would be glad to be given finally a real reason to invade and “liberate” another pair of countries. Safest bet for those “evil” countries is to play safe and avoid messing with Mr Policeman, rather than being wiped.
Iran or Syria come to the aid of Hezbollah finally right as this August 22nd date comes on?
Maybe Israel "accidently" fires missiles into Syria to provoke them? Maybe they go on the offensive and hit Syria and Iran not on "accident"?
All of it is to drag the United States into a war which is what our government wants. It's all to use nuclear weapons on Iran.
Well, controlling entirely Iraq’s oil resources hasn’t really lowered the oil prices, which is what the US needs .
It's all to take control of oil. It's all to keep this "New Middle East" plan in motion. It's all to flex our muscles.
? Ok, let’s not get extremist..
This cease fire will never hold. And you know what..thank god.
Well, that doesn’t really come across like evil, to be honest…just a tad…ignorant? “Take Care” Maybe the US should start to “take care” of its own business.
Maybe i'm an evil bastard for saying that but you know what..nobody else is going to take care of these people.
Oh tha evil axis! Those meanies that won’t do what the US do, now that’s evil…
Not as long as you have countries like Iran and North Korea around.
Yay! Go Mr Police! Hmm…maybe there is a reason why people hate the US…meant as in the US part of population that endorse being Mr World Police co., NOT everyone.
Somebody has to do the dirty work to take these assholes out of power.
Well Japan can handle North Korea pretty well without the US, and Israel’s fanatic position, against the Syrians and Iranians fanatic position means they attack and get attacked for a reason…no good or evil, simply a pair of fanatic views in clash…
If we don't, countries like Japan and Israel get attacked.
None of YOUR business?
Why sit back and WAIT for it to happen?
Maybe everybody else is right? Could that be posible? Maybe if the US actually backed the UN the World would police the World…not the US, who has no right to do so.
Nobody else is going to be the world police so we clearly have to.
I don't agree with China and Russia's policy of just sitting back. Yeah it's all good for them..their allies with Iran and North Korea.
War doesn’t benefit them, and Iran is a very important oil exporter to both of them…maybe there’s a reason they don’t want war…besides the fact it’s stupid…
Nothing will happen to them.
If their not going to do anything and they cant see it from the view point of us Japan and Israel and see it as a threat then they need to sit down and shut the # up.
I totally agree with this. I agree with world domination. I agree with killing all these bastards.
Ok, that was all good…
I hate Bush to hell and back
Ok, I’m thinking your bipolar, with the ignorant side coming quite often…
but you know what, i'm with him on this despite his greedy intentions. Take them out.
Trooolll, run!
Flame me for wanting death and destruction in these countries but I just don't give a #.
Ok, that was a really intelligent closing…I’ve got my troll-hunter suit, so watch it, boy
You wont change my opinion. Thats all
I can't handle? Oh have no worry, I can deal with ignorant facts quite easily, but thanks for your concern.

If what you told so was true, you'd have no interest in someone reading your opinion, therefore you wouldn't even post it. You contradict yourself...
im not here to impress anybody with big words or avoiding sounding "ignorant".
I just can't keep from not allowing misinformation and warmongering just fly by...sorry, but that's a nono.
i could care less what you think so comment away.
Well, sure you can express your opinion, but you'll remember that there is T&C, and to those you must abide, the freedom of speech is Moderated by the Mods . Bottomline is, you don't get to say misinformation and offensive things to members, so you don't really get "whatever" you say, so it's kinda tricky about you having "every right"...
say what you must about me but this is an opinionated message board and i have every right to express my opinion no matter what it may be

The French should have never promised those troops then if they are just gonna back out. All they did was say whatever they had to to get a cease-fire and now that we have one they arent sticking to their end of the bargain. They knew how dangerous Lebanon was before they promised the troops so its no excuse now.

Well, it's not like they can afford to be knee deep in yet another middle east country.

I agree with you, it would have been better to send US and UK soldiers to the area. Those that used to block every attempt to create cease-fire weeks ago. But instead of sending troops, Mr Blair and Mr Bush prefer to aid Lebanon in financial terms.
Totally agree...I saw this coming though...Israel taking advantage of cease-fire to try to kill important targets...failing though
Besides, why should France keep its word while Israel should be allowed to violate the resolution?

Apparently someone played harsh, since you got an edit for an insulting post. Lastly, if you have really no interest in someone debating your opinion (which is what you face in a forum ) Maybe you should post your deep insight in a blog, so you, and you alone can read it and debate it, how about that?
