Digital Brainwaves: Refusal to Disarm

    No problem at all.
    But Israel will wait for the opportune time and location, when it is prepared correctly the next time, both offensively and defensively. You see, they've seen it all before, with Gaza in the 1950's, Jordan in the 1970's, the PLO in Lebanon in the 1970's and 1980's. Nothing really new here, just some updated weapons, they can be countered easily, although not inexpensively.

    See, the next time, if Israel chooses, the outcome will be far different.

    Here here. The impression I got from reading what happened at the end of the previous conflict was that the Israeli prime minister blinked first. The Israeli military was ready and willing to keep going, but Olmert balked under international pressure.

    Meanwhile, as Israel reloads, Hezbollah's stockpiling rockets, too. From the same article:

    Hezbollah is armed with thousands of rockets and Nasrallah has said his arsenal survived the Israeli onslaught. He boasted in a TV interview last week that the guerrillas — and their weapons — were still at the Israeli border in south Lebanon.


    I'm all behind Israel on this one, 'cause I believe they've got the moral upper hand.
