Cease fire possible

This was horribly difficult diplomacy that might not work. For just a touch of the difficulties... This article is NY Times so some might again find it biased, but on the whole they do an outstanding job of reporting by getting statements from key players. Anyway it is worth the read:

I dont think this is going to work. The problem being that when the cease fire starts, Hezbollah will still be allowed to attack Israeli positions in Southern Lebanon, and Israel will of course be allowed to retaliate while the UN group takes up position. I think in this interim if Hezbollah makes a raid that is effective, Israel will retaliate with a forceful message, and the whole thing starts up. I dont think Hezbollah can resist the urge to stop firing the missles into Israel while Israel pounds away at their positions for at least a week in retaliation for soldiers killed in Southern Lebanon.

I hope I am wrong.
