Cease-Fire Sounds Doomed

142 words.

News that Hezbollah has told the Lebanese army that they’ll have to pry their (Iranian) guns from their cold, dead fingers doesn’t bode too well for the cease-fire: Lebanon’s ‘real’ soldiers are put in their place. But then one might argue that there shouldn’t even be a cease-fire, because Hezbollah hasn’t returned the two kidnapped Israeli soldiers and won’t be abiding by any International laws or U.N. resolutions anytime soon, and will continue to take hostages and launch rockets whenever they feel like it. (Or should I say, whenever Iran tells them to.)

CNN reports that Lebanese citizens are already returning to south Lebanon as if the fighting is over. I sure wouldn’t be doing that if I lived there. Except if I lived there, I wouldn’t have access to anything but the Hezbollah news service, which is reporting victory over Israel.
