I cannot imagine anyone thinking that Israel signing a cease-fire is anything but a victory for a group which should be relegated to nothing more than a street gang. Hezbollah is victorious in what has transpired in the middle east if for no other reason than they are now considered to be a legitimate force to be reckoned with and more importantly, will now further entrench themselves in Lebanon. Reality is that the people of Lebanon and their government have no real issue with that either, and it is high time the rest of the sleepy world wake up and realize it.
The country of Lebanon is NOT being held hostage as a State within a State.
Hezbollah is Lebanon.
By the way, this will also make dealing with Iran more difficult.
If we, the world, do not have the intestinal fortitude to deal with Iran as needed, what we are witnessing is the beginning of the end.
