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.My advice, which I have shared on numerous web sites, was the only option when this began and is still the only option: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.
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.

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.
