Thomas Friedman? Does anyone take this pompous clown seriously?

Here's what Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah's leader, said the morning
after the morning after about his decision to start that war by
abducting two Israeli soldiers on July 12, 2006: "We did not think,
even 1 percent, that the capture would lead to a war at this time and
of this magnitude. You ask me, if I had known on July 11 ... that the
operation would lead to such a war, would I do it? I say no,
absolutely not."

That was the education of Hezbollah. Has Israel seen its last conflict
with Hezbollah? I doubt it. But Hezbollah, which has done nothing for
Hamas, will think three times next time. That is probably all Israel
can achieve with a nonstate actor.

In Gaza, I still can't tell if Israel is trying to eradicate Hamas or
trying to "educate" Hamas, by inflicting a heavy death toll on Hamas
militants and heavy pain on the Gaza population. If it is out to
destroy Hamas, casualties will be horrific and the aftermath could be
Somalia-like chaos. If it is out to educate Hamas, Israel may have
achieved its aims.
