There is only one way to fight a war!
If what NY Post columnist Ralph Peters writes in CAN ISRAEL WIN? NOT THE WAY IT'S FIGHTING is true, then Israel hasn't learned anything from the U.S. engagement in Iraq.

Israel tried to spare civilians.
Not enough troops for incursion
Failed intelligence
Can't find the WMDs.
Syria and Iran are getting a free ride.

Peters quotes A U.S. government official:

"Israel's got the clock, but Hezbollah's got the time." The sands of the hourglass favor the terrorists - every day they hold out and drop more rockets on Israel, Hezbollah scores a propaganda win.

All Hezbollah has to do to achieve victory is not to lose completely. But for Israel to emerge the acknowledged winner, it has to shatter Hezbollah. Yet Israeli miscalculations have left Hezbollah alive and kicking.

My advice, which I have shared on numerous web sites, was the only option when this began and is still the only option:
CRUSH the opposition in the most brutal manner possible. This is war! Israel (and this goes for the U.S. in any conflict) has a choice. Either fight a protracted war and watch the blood of your nation slowly seep into the battlefield over a period of years or wipe out all thoughts in the enemy's mind that they can compete on the battlefield.

Israel has very little time to achieve its goal of wiping out Hezbollah before the nations of the world force a ceasefire on Israel. Then Hezbollah, Iran and Syria will have won a resounding victory.

agree with your opinion.just as before world war 2 , while the world hoped that somehow germany , italy , and japan would pull back and not let pain and stupid loss of life , valuable time passed , and allowed them to continue to build their military to which they actually believed they would win a world war. history is teaching us a lesson. if china and russia were to give israel and america 100% support , and if all of the religious leaders , buddhist , hindu , muslim , christian , were to come and meet at the united nations , and sit down and come to agreement to respect and recognize that all peoples need their god to worship in their own way. i am certain that 80% of the islamic world wants peace. but i do not see this to happen. why? this is sad. so then their must be war and the sooner the better. if i were to be the president of the u s a , my weapon of first choice is the neutron bomb. very little radiation fall out and it can penetrate the deepest bunkers. yes , i would give warning. the warning would be to come to the peace table or die. eliminate iran and syria now before it is too late.

If Israel does bobble this one, it will mean we will be drawn in. There's no denying that Iran is shooting for the moon. Syria's helpless Assad child is probably its client, and Turkey is standing by the sidelines watching in great worry as it sees its status plummeting.

This is all about power. Before WWII, the democracies permitted Italy and Germany to consolidate their power and overrun small states. If we make the same mistake, we will face the same consequences, or we will end up nuking one of this countries flat.

Those who talk about "barbarism" now have no conception of just how barbaric we will be when we are fighting for our lives later.
