Bush and Blair Push Plan to End Mideast Fighting - New York Times
The words seem right, but the reality is this: Who will disarm Hezbollah and drive them back from the border with Israel? The West won't negotiate with them because you cannot negotiate with stateless terrorists because to do so would give them legitimacy.
The only channel to convince Hezbollah to stop fighting for the moment is through Syria/Iran. The Europeans probably will talk to them.
To create an international force and insert it into southern Lebanon will take several weeks, considering the logistics support and command and control structure required. If such a force is inserted, their rules of engagement must include fighting Hezbollah.
Meanwhile, Israel must do all in its power to eradicate as many of them as possible.
