Over the last week or so, as fighting in Lebanon has continued, various commentators have proclaimed their desire that the violence end and a cease-fire be reached. This sounds nice on the outside. Who doesn't want peace in the Middle East and the whole world? I wish that Israel could live in peace also. But not at any cost. War is a necessary evil in our fallen world. The worst thing that could happen right now is for Israel to stop fighting before Hezbollah has been neutralized and permanently expelled from Lebanon. Imagine if there had been a UN wringing its hands and sending diplomats to try to negotiate a cease-fire between Japan and the US during WWII. Imagine a worse scenario where they had succeeded and an aggressive, militaristic Japan still existed today with the stated intent to destroy America. Well, that is just what is going on right now. Israel is in a war for their very survival against the country of "Hezbollahland." Israel has this brutal regime against the ropes and liberals everywhere are trying to pull Israel off so Hezbollah can catch their breath and regroup. The US cannot let this happen. Israel must destroy terrorism in Lebanon, shatter Hezbollah, occupy a buffer zone, and coordinate the takeover of the rest of southern Lebanon by the Lebanese government. Anything less is defeat, and the terrorists know it. We all want peace, but only liberals want peace at any cost.
