This is a "moment of truth" for the international community, she said. The world cannot "allow Hezbollah to rise again and threaten the future of the region."
This statement from Israel is BS. This will be Israel's reason for going back in a most severe manner. imo the UN will not be able to disarm Hezbollah and Israel will come right back to statements like this. The Israelis know right now that Hezbollah is being rearmed, they know this.
I am very sad to say round 2 will be devastation. This is a setup statement for a knockout punch. Israel knows that absolutely nothing was accomplished long term in round 1. No soldiers back, Hezbollah not wiped out, not even disarmed. It was a failure and there are vows within the military to not fail again in a confrontation like this. And the failure is now thought to be one of not going in to win and underestimating the enemy. The same mistake will not be made twice.
DTS, STS do you want Hezbollah disarmed? or do you want the above. I pray that somehow, someone understands what a second conflict will mean. A massacre.

Pgardn,
I sure would like Hezbollah disarmed.
I also would like to see Iran and North Korea disarmed.
Heck, while we're at it..I'd like to see every country disarmed.
The reality is that that's not going to happen any time soon.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think Einstein shared similar views.
So...until the world's belligerents decide to employ other strategies to resolve "valid" grievances, seems to me that "colon cleansing" is the answer.
Just remember to stand way back...cause when the sh-t let's go, you best not be in the line of fire.
Honestly, I really DO have difficulty understanding the motivations that drive humans to be willing to die for this nonsense.
Now I expect the responses...DTS.."you're so naive", "such an idealist"...blah, blah, blah. "What? You didn't post something from common dreams?"
Colon cleansing!
More than enough to go around.
btw...stock tip of the day...invest in Marcal Paper products and the mfg. of "depends".
