The problem of Hezbollah in Lebanon has always been Lebanon, specifically their collusion with Hezbollah. Now via the Jerusalem Post we see why the only way to “peace” is Israel hammering Hezbollah to pieces.

“Crucial Lebanese cabinet talks on disarming Hezbollah fighters in southern Lebanon under a UN-brokered ceasefire have been put off. A truce between Israel and Hezbollah is due to come into force at 0500 GMT.

The postponement, amid reported divisions, seriously complicates the establishment of a stable ceasefire, the BBC’s Nick Childs in Beirut says.

Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert ordered the country’s army to halt fighting at 2300 GMT on Sunday.

Israel will now begin withdrawing some of its forces immediately, according to the newspaper Haaretz, reporting on a meeting between Mr Olmert, Defence Minister Amir Peretz and senior army staff.

But some Israeli troops will remain in southern Lebanon to hand over to an international force.

“You can’t move from black to white easily – there will be a period of gray, ” said Major General Benny Gantz, the head of Israel’s ground forces.”

If anyone thinks that Lebanon is going to ever get serious about disarming Hezbollah this news should dispell it. The “serious complication” is that Siniora is a puppet of Hezbollah and so long as he is Prime Minister they will exist in Lebanon, and Israel simply cannot abide by that.
