Israel & Hezbollah, Do You Think The Ceasefire Will Hold?
What do you think about the ceasefire? I'm taking a poll this next week. Just click comments and you can enter yes or no in the comment box anonymously. I'll post results on Friday August 25th. I have posted some early results already, just check the blog.
Do you think that the ceasefire will work? So far, Hezbollah has launched some rockets, and so far the Israelis have held tight. But I wonder as the Lebanese people return to shattered cities what the response will be. Will there be increased animosity at the destruction? Will the UN forces be able to deliver the needed humanitarian aid to both sides quickly to asage fears and provide sustenance in villages and town that have lost infrastructure on both sides?
Will extremist factions in the Middle East stay out of the area and allow peace to take hold? What do you think? Your thoughts count and can help to shape opinion. This blog has readers worldwide and many in the Middle East. Take a moment and say what you think!
Our poll has been so popular that we are extending our voting deadline so you'll have time to leave your comments. It's easy, let me know what you think!

The cease fire will be broken by HIZB, and Israel will look the other way. Israel was not allowed to win. The wimps of the west wanted peace so the vile terror groups can regroup to fight another day. Israelies are not martyrs and do not want to die for 72 virgins, thus this was a total waist of lives. The job was not done, nothing was achieved, Hizb thinks they won, Syria, thinks it can take back the Golan and the UN wimps just impowered other hate groups to step up and do this again. The war is not over, it will just go on in a different fashion. Nothing was achieved in the last 34 days. Terror still exsist, hostage taling does work, and the circle will goes on and on.

No, because the militants both sides of the border hate each other so much - the last thing they want is peace.
If only they could see that they are both being used, as is this hatred, by a superpower whose only concern is to secure energy supplies for it's corporations.

Yes for the short term, no for the long term.
I think that in another year or two we will see the same thing over. Maybe we'll be lucky and have a lapse of 20 years as this same issue surfaced over 20 years ago. I just don't see it going away.

THE BIGGEST MISTAKE YOU COULD HAVE MADE.. IRAN WILL ATTACK YOU WITHOUT DOUBT.. THEY NOW BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN BE BEATEN AND THEY HAVE FULL INTENTIONS OF DOING IT.... YOU HAD BETTER START "fULL TRAINING" NOW.. IT WILL HAPPEN AND SOON.
YOU COULD HAVE BEATEN THEM AND THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN THE WORST THING FOR SYRIA AND IRAN..BUSH LET THE "IMPEDENT UN" START THE FIRST NAIL IN YOUR COFFIN, HE SHOULD HAVE KEPT HIS NOSE OUT OF THIS. GOD HELP YOU NOW BECAUSE THE DEMOCRATES ARE GOING TO WIN AND THEY ARE COMPLETE RETREATERS. START TO ORDER ALL THE EQUIPTMENT YOU ARE GOING TO NEED FOR THE NEXT ATTACK. I WAS AFRAID THIS WOULD HAPPEN AND CAN NOT BELIEVE YOUR POLITICAL GUTLESS LEADERS LET IT HAPPEN.I REALLY FEEL SORRY FOR YOU, YOU COULD HAVE WON THE DAY.

I highly doupt it will hold way too much hatred. another thing. You cant phisically fight terrorism it's not possible. Terrorism is a state of mind. anybody a little sick in the mind that turns to civillian targets is a "terrorist". Terrorism will always exist. the only way to end terrorism is if there is no people left alive anywhere(a sad thought). Yes it is sad but it wont end.

well i think israel won the day. they have shown backbone,while everyone else sat on their backsides.if you give in to the kind of people like hezb, then you might as well give up on life.
we in gt britain have some responsibility for the situation, we allowed israel to be formed out of another nations land.lets all go backto caves.

It is now absolutely clear that the Americans were behind this massacre by the zionists. Every weapon of mass destruction that was unleashed by the zionists to terrorise the Lebanese has the stamp of US authority on them. And as long as the murderous Bush is in power there is no chance of this changing. The US will keep arming the zionists to kill and terrorise the Palestinians and Lebanese and anyone else that opposes the occupation.
But it looks like now the tide is changing. The zionists are in disarray and the US ambitions in the middle east are up in flames. Peace can only be achieved by defeat of the US and withdrawal from all occupied territories by the occupation.
