The talk of an immediate cease-fire in the fighting between Israel and Hezbollah/Lebanon is only that: talk.
Does anyone out there REALLY think that Hezbollah will stop fighting Israel because of a U.N. resolution? They're a terrorist organization committed to the destruction of Israel and have no desire to live alongside it.
And they don't care about who they sacrifice in the process. Remember: they're the ones who are placing their military hardware next to apartment buildings and houses in southern Lebanon and daring Israel to defend themselves, knowing full well that collatoral damage will destroy Lebanese property and lives.
Hezbollah's handlers in Tehran and Damascus aren't interested in allowing Israel to exist either and are even less inclined than Hezbollah to see an end to the open warfare. And they don't care if all of Lebanon is blown to kingdom come in the process.
The world knows full well that Hezbollah will continue to rain rockets down on Israeli cities but don't want Israel to fire back. Hezbollah must be disarmed or destroyed.
For all the noise that diplomats from around the world are making, I'm not seeing those nations volunteering troops for a U.N. force in southern Lebanon either. A cease-fire will hold only if the international community has the brass to back it up with boots on the ground. They should put up or shut up.
It's laughable that they want Israel to sacrifice their national treasure (their people who continue to die from Hezbollah rockets) in the name of peace while refusing to risk any of their own to insure that the peace is kept. And the U.S. shouldn't bail the world out on this either by contributing fifty times the amount of troops that the smallest donor nation provides either.
World complaints require a world fix. And if they're not part of the solution, then they're part of the problem.
