Here’s a guest column from true American: Charlie Daniels: enjoy!

Downright Insane
 
If you found a nest of rattlesnakes in the back yard under your childrens swing set would you just kill half of them and let the rest live? If you found an unexploded stick of dynamite in your dresser drawer would you just put a couple of pairs of socks over it and let it stay there? If you found a loaded gun in your baby's toy box would you take half the bullets out of it and put it back?
 
Sounds downright insane doesn't it? Well that¹s just about how much sense as the cease-fire in Lebanon makes.
 
No matter what you read in the New York Times or see on CNN
about the war in Lebanon being a victory for the Arab community, you better know that if Hezbollah didn't have their backs to the wall they would never have agreed to a cease-fire. If they had had the slightest chance to win the war they never would have stopped fighting for any reason.
 
They are committed to the destruction of Israel and the only reason they agreed to stop fighting in Lebanon is to lick their wounds and rearm. International pressure means nothing to them, the deaths of innocent Lebanese citizens means nothing to them.
 
This is a strategic move pure and simple. About the first thing Israel did was cut off their supply lines and now they'll be open again. More rockets, more long-range missiles and more munitions can be moved into the area and there is no way that a handful of troops are going to prevent it.
 
The world has pressured Israel to stop fighting just when they started making some real headway. Now they are soon going to face the same enemy again, freshly rearmed and ready to take another shot at destroying them.
 
America and Israel would be better off if somebody would take a giant bull dozer and push the United Nations building into the East River, revoke the diplomatic visas of the delegates and just call the whole thing a bad international experiment.
 
First of all, there is nothing united about the United Nations except their united dislike if not hate for America and Israel and still we host this impotent organization and foot most of the bills.
 
Don't get me wrong, I want peace as much as anybody but letting a deadly enemy off the hook is not the way to achieve it. This is not over by a long shot. It will begin again soon. You can bet on it and when it does it will likely expand this time and very possibly include Syria and Iran. And when that happens you can look for the Middle East to explode.
 
Does anybody in their right mind actually think that the Lebanese army has the will or the ability to force Hezbollah out of Lebanon?
 
Does anybody actually believe that this is anything but a lull in the battle, a temporary halt to what will continue until the last page of human history is written?
 
I guess we're going to find out, aren't we?
 
Pray for our troops and pray for the peace of Jerusalem
 
What do you think?
 
God Bless America
