Cease Fire.. What's that?

The United Nations cease-fire, which attempted to put a halt to the fighting between Israel and the Hezbollah, is in a constant state of question due to most countries not willing to send their troops to an area they will surely see action in. Daily the UN is begging countries for their military only to be told “No way Jose” and do not call again.

We can all safely assume that the French Foreign Legion will see the most action as well as providing the majority of the military personnel for the buffer zone. Legionnaires live for this type of commitment and the two I knew would have been packed waiting to leave long before they were called.

In any case, we can also assume that Israel is not going to allow one moment to pass without attempting to demonstrate to everyone concerned that Israel can still do whatever they wish to the Hezbollah operating safety within Lebanon and well protected by the Lebanese military. As was the case in this morning’s news summary where Israeli special forces operated inside Lebanon, risking the UN Mideast Cease-Fire Agreement.

The spokesperson for the Israeli army said the commandos blew up a bridge used to smuggle weapons from Syria and Iran to Hezbollah, but you can bet the farm that Israel simply wanted to demonstrate to the world that they could still move at will, doing whatever damage they wish. They are not taking the media slant of their massive defeat too lightly and they will use every opportunity to prove that fact, even risking the cease fire, which in all honesty, had they not taken so many casualties they would case less about.

There will never be peace within this portion of the world, the hatred is too well entrenched within the minds of everyone concerned to ever permit that to occur, at least not within years to come. It will take a lot more than a United Nations agreement to ever put a stop to this action and what that will be will remain to be seen.
