Perhaps I'm being a bit too hasty.
If the news I just heard from Debka is correct, then maybe, just maybe, I was too impetuous in my complaint.
According to DebkaFile, Nasrallah, under orders from the mad Mullahs, has notified the Lebanese government that he is reneging on his agreement of UN Resolution 1701, which calls for a cessation of fighting.
Now, I'm not going to say I believe Olmert knew in advance this would happen, although it does follow the history of Israel's enemies. As soon as they get their way, they become way too cocky and greedy. No, I believe Olmert felt he was doing what he thought was right, regardless of Nasrallah or Iran. The only problem I had was that I completely disagree with what Olmert thought was right.
However, again if the report is true (and that's not always the case with Debka), this does change the game a bit.
Just as when Hezbollah first kidnapped the Israeli soldiers, this has the opportunity to sway world opinion back into Israel's favor. While that shouldn't mean much to a country fighting for it's existence, it can't be ignored. Remember, it wasn't until the so-called Qana massacre-that-wasn't happened that the war started to get away from Israel.
With Nasrallah backing out, he now forces Israel to finish the job they need to compete anyway. Already Israel had increased their fighting just before the deadline of 1:00 am time.
So the question is what exactly will happen at 1:00 am?
Well, Secretary of State Condeleeza Rice warned Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora that if the UN Lebanon resolution is not implemented, "We will not be responsible for the consequences".
Of course, what that means is that if they don't get their act together, don't worry - the UN will see to it that Israel just suffers more rocket attacks and lost lives. Because after all, aside from Egypt and Jordan, since when has any Arab group ever fully accepted a peaceful solution with Israel?
But again, it does behoove me to sit patiently by as this plays out. I honestly think that Iran would be making a huge mistake in not following through on this agreement. But then again, he must have his reasons. Unfortunately, his reasons may lead to the total annihilationon of the Middle East. So we should always be weary.
