    never too late, although certainly a shame it didn't happen earlier.

    I am impressed that the Israeli PM took responsibility for the minor offensive that violated the ceasefire, but it makes me wonder if the sides will abide by it or just sneak around it as best they can...

    should be interesting to see what the deployment of UN personnel is like and what effects it has. I do hope it calms things down a bit, probably will be better than just having the two slug it out and killing tons of bystanders.

    Humans are different from animals. We must die for a reason. Now is the time for us to regulate ourselves and reclaim our dignity. The one who holds endless potential and displays his strength and kindness to the world. Only mankind has God, a power that allows us to go above and beyond what we are now, a God that we call "possibility".

    I really hope the UN learned its mistake from Rwanda, and doesn't send personnel to just stand around and accomplish nothing.

    I personnally agree with him.

    Indeed. Forgetting the politics involved, the guy certainly ruled that conversation. I have never seen before an interview like that.

    Yeah, great interview. Galloway made some strong points, but made himself look foolish by engaging in a shouting match. He did more to discredit himself than the interviewer with whom he was talking.

    The interviewer didn't do much better.

    They've turned a very serious matter into a joke. This is just shock-and-awe journalism that accomplishes nothing but higher ratings.

    So much for not being able to trust Hizbullah to keep the truce
