Possible Redemption
According to the Lebanese newspaper, A-Saphir, Hizbullah has positioned roughly 50,000 "fighters" along the Lebanese-Israeli border.
If Hassan Nasrallah has the gumption I don't believe he has then Ehud Olmert will get a shot at redemption. If Hizbollah is truly putting a show of force on the border they better be ready to back it up. Somewhere along the line an attack is going to be made whether ordered or not. This attack will force Ehud Olmert to make a decision. The wrong decision and he might as well pack his bags and move to Europe.
The Israelis are going to wait and see. If Olmert gives the green light, what kind of response does the Israeli Military follow with? Right now Israel is faced with the possibility of an all out invasion of Gaza and now, it appears, they may have to do more than just defend the northern border of Israel.
The wild card in Lebanon is the Lebanese governments response. Does it support Hizbollah or does Fuad Saniora help put the pinch on Hizbollah. The latter is the right decision. However Mr. Saniora hasn't shown the spine necessary to make the hard decisions. This is only a hard decision because it involves Israel and there are many Lebanes that don't like Israel. As I wrote in the previous Lebanese affair, Lebanon should stop looking at Israel as an enemy. If it were to ally itself with Israel that would guarantee some protection. Unfortunately Mr. Saniora appears to fear the islamists.
Back to Israel. Ehud Olmert may just get his chance at redemption. I pray that the Almighty has instilled a spine in this man. Then again Mr. Olmert would have to accept that gift. Seeing as he is a true politician, I don't see that he has learned anything. I hope I am wrong.
