Was Condoleezza Rice right in Rome to hold firm that just a cessation of hostilities is not good enough and Hezbollah must disarm ?

How many dead will be the result of that position?

Some immediate victims:

In the latest fighting, an Israeli air strike killed a woman and six children in a house in the southern village of Nmeiriya, medics said.

Watch what happens in the next couple of weeks. The positions that are made public by all sides are no doubt much more inflexible than the positions actually being hammered out in pivate.

Implying Heszbollah will cease firing as soon as Israel stops attacking?

But of course, deaths on the Israeli side are inconsequencial.

Right? I don't know.

Unrealistic? Definitely.

How about if Condy offered up a realistic solution and really tried to help for a change?

In the short run or in the long run ? ..... and on which side ? .... both ?



.... and how many dead would be the result in the long run in case of not insisting on Hezbollah's disarmament ?

How much "firing" was going on before the massive Israeli attacks? Hezbollah has joined the Lebanon's government call for a cease fire (supported by the vast majority of the international community) in case you haven't been following events very closely. A cease fire usually results in less deaths than a active war.

Would the woman and her six children mentioned above be dead now if a cease fire had been agreed to by Israel? What is the UN and the international community's position on a cease fire, Ivanhoe?

Of course not. Is Israel rejecting a cease fire somehow going to NOT get Israelis killed?

Marauder: "Hezbollah has joined the Lebanon's government call for a cease fire ... "

Oops, I missed that .... do you have a link ?

Marauder: " ...supported by the vast majority of the international community ... "

In Iran's case you always wipe your behind with what the International Community wants. How come you suddenly changed your mind and present the International Community's wishes as being relevant in this case ?

Would this woman and her six children still be alive if Hezbollah had been disarmed according to UN Security Council resolution 1559 ?


What is the Security Council's position on the disarmament and disbanding of Hezbollah ?
