Leader Nasrallah of Hezbollah said recently he is willing to accept a UN brokered cease-fire deal. Great! However, he said that as long as Israel has troops in southern Lebanon they will continue fighting. It looks like we're not out of the woods yet, and the violence will continue. It would be better for Lebanon if there weren't members of Hezbollah in their government, as it is already difficult to abide by the disarmament agreement to disband this "government within a government." Then again, it would be better if Israel followed international law itself and honestly committed itself to ending its occupation of all lands acquired after 1967. Not going to happen any time soon.
I wrote a long essay that I was going to use as my next blog entry. Unfortunately, I had some trouble putting it on for technical reasons. I will write more about this issue later.
