Alexandra von Maltzan: What if ... Contributed by Bill Faith
The famous 'What If...' question, that we all ask ourselves, when so much is at stake.
As you all know, I wholeheartedly support Israel's struggle against the murdering thugs and genocidal Islamofascists surrounding her. I also haven't minced my words in favor of uncompromising military action against Hezbollah following their nefarious attack on July 12th. The concern shared by many was that Prime Minister Olmert did not have the political will and strength to engage Hezbollah head on.
Today we know differently of course. We also have the benefit of hindsight, introducing a question, which ought to be debated at this stage:
What if Israel had decided to do nothing after initially preventing Hezbollah to transfer the hostages to Iran - you remember, the purpose of the initial bombardments were to disable air, sea and most road traffic, frustrating any attempt to move the two kidnapped soldiers as well as preventing further arms shipment from Syria and Iran. Would Hezbollah have stopped firing rockets after their so called 'reprisals'. Could Olmert have survived military inactivity in the face of Hezbollah's brazen evil?
