David vs Goliath, or should we say Mohammed vs David?
Military sources in Israel announced that 400 of the 1200 Hezbollah "terrorists" have been killed. That's to say, a mere 1200 fighters have been standing against the tens of thousands of soldiers, who are equipped with the most advanced weapons, and hundreds of thousands of Israeli citizens are still under rocket fire while Israeli soldiers continue to be killed.
The new proposals of the Beirut government have lit red lights in Jerusalem. The Lebanese government proposes to deploy 15 thousand Lebanese troops along the border, declare a cease-fire and get the Israeli troops out of Lebanon. That is exactly what the Israeli government demanded at the start of the war. But now it doesn't look very well. It could stop the war without an Israeli victory.
The paradox: the Israeli government is rejecting a proposal that reflects its original war aims, and instead demands the deployment of an international force, which it objected at the start of the war.
That's what happens when you start a war without clear and achievable aims. Everything gets mixed up.
Ariel Sharon had the experience. I bet he wouldn't have started this war as it is now, or maybe he was 'silenced' because he was against it in the first place???

Sharon was too foxy to be ensnared into a childish trap like the troika of bufoons Olmert/Peretz/Halutz, three stooges, and clumsy ones at that.
To run headlong into a Hizbolla hornets nest one has to be suffering from Alzheimers or some shizophrenia dementia.
It is not far fetched the theory that Sharon might have just been conveniently silenced because he proved to be an intractable obstacle to the plan of the idiots.
