I am not optimistic about the recent cease-fire in the Middle East. I saw that Pat Robertson was being criticized for his negative comments about the peace resolution--this is probably one time I would agree with him. If the French don't want to commit forces to the peace-keeping team, I am not sure they even have bought into it.
Arthur Herman, a historian, has published a column in the New York Post, "The Mideast's Munich. War with Mullahs is Coming," which is extremely pessimistic about the future. But I think he raises some legitimate questions. This conflict may be just a warm-up for a bigger one.
HISTORIANS will look back at this weekend's cease-fire agreement in Lebanon as a pivotal moment in the war on terror. It is pivotal in the same sense that the Munich agreement between Adolf Hitler and Neville Chamberlain was pivotal in an earlier battle against the enemies of freedom. The accord in October 1938 revealed to the world that the solidarity of the Western allies was a sham, and that the balance of power had shifted to the fascist dictators.
