From From The Chicago Tribune comes the news that a cease-fire is in effect between Israel and Hezbollah this morning and so far is generally working . Some clashes have occured but "peace" in the south of Lebanon wiil hold for a few days , if you ask my opinion .
Of course Hezbollah says they will continue to fight as long as Israel has forces in the region , and Israel says they will defend themselves if attacked .
So , we have a situation in a virtual pressure cooker that WILL certainly fail soon , in my opinion , since the whole operation depends on Lebanon sending troops to the south , and UN Peace-keeping arriving there . Anyone who believes Hezbollah will be patient is misleading themselves . Their plan to disrupt any peace is stock-in-trade with them , it would never serve their interests to stay paeceful , nor to live up to an agreement .
