Yes the war is far from over. But this battle - which is we call a war and that was really nothing more than Israel's seventh invasion of Lebanon - goes to Hezbollah. Hezbollah that exists only because Israel invades Lebanon and because Israel even made enemies of their Shi'ite friends in Lebanon. Hezbollah that exists because the protagonists will not even negotiate - a 'them is evil' attitude that only means more battles - which we will then call wars.

The victor this year is Hezbollah. A victory was so obvious that the Olmert government may fall early to Likud.
