You are right that there can be no peace without compromise. Hezbollah has never shown a capacity or willingness to compromise whereas Israel has made concession after concession with nothing to show for it. The extent of a Hezbollah compromise consists of empty promises to cease attacks. That really means stop killing us so we will have a chance to regroup and find better weapons. There is only one solution, the elimination of Hezbollah and groups like them. Thanks for visiting and sharing your opinion. You are right that there can be no peace without compromise.

Scott,

it’s been a bad 24 hours for Israel. Killing four UN personnel in a clearly marked camp is one thing. Sending missiles into two clearly marked ambulances in Lebanon is also dumb and does nothing to promote Israel’s position as a victim, but makes it look more like the aggressor (http://www.theage.com.au/news/world/we-have-an-accident/2006/07/25/1153816182440.html)

This follows the US shipping $30 million in aid to Lebanon just 48 hours after rushing a shipment of precision guided munitions to Israel as part of a $1 billion arms contract - there’s hypocracy for you.

All these incidents clearly undermine the willingness of the global community to commit to a UN peace-making force, and undermine the trust for the US as a dealmaker - Condi Rice now just looks plain ridiculous talking peace while sending arms to continue the campaign.

If there’s to be peace - both sides have to demonstrate a willingness to compromise - neitehr side seems willing at the moment.
