Your comment is very telling about your laissez faire attitude towards war: Since you don't have to participate in it you are all for it.
I have read a lot about the IRI's official narrative on Hizbollah vs. Israel last war, a faulty and inaccurate recollection of the short war:
- Israel won that war, just like all the other wars it has won since its birth. She achieved her objectives and established a balance of power in her favor vis a vis Hizbollah.
- Hizbollah established new facts on the ground: it's a capable military organization that can withstand superior Israeli military and can inflict pain on it.
- Hizbollah failed to protect Lebanese cities and population.
I am sure these enemies have learnt a great deal from their last exchange and have devised new tactics accordingly. But until an Arab army wins against Israel I continue to believe she will be the victor in the next war also.
I disagree... Israel does not the capacity to want it all. The fact remains that Israel is a small country with a small population. More than anything she wants to live in peace and security, just like the rest of us.
