The Ultimate Solution
As usual the Ballistics are flying heroically through the air....and killing innocent civilians. Nothing new we know all about that. The macho men In suits and flowing gowns are making speeches and playing real life Nintendo as usual. Enough has been said about that.
Nothing will ever change its as simple as that, nothing we're seeing now is new, we've been down this road before and our children will do the same, like wise their children.
Were it not for the civilian casualties, I would suggest a solution with analogy in a true life situation.
The Magistrate sister, has two kids aged 13 and 11 respectively, though the incident itself took place 4 years ago when they were nine and 7. Her kids were constantly bickering and fighting - as siblings do. As a concerned mother, she would often step in and separate the warring parties. This went on for several months until the fateful day on a stifling hot tropical day temperature 46 deg Centigrade, 80% humidity and a power cut to boot, in addition the Magistrate Sister -as the family is wont- was suffering from the effects of particularly High Blood pressure on the day, fatigue, nausea and a severe headache. She had picked up the kids and driven through two hours if very slow moving traffic, in a car without airconditioning. in short, she wasn't in the mood, believe me!
And so the fight started, various manoeuvres were adopted, Freestyle, Greco-Roman, Catch-as-catch can (apologies I am a wrestling fan) etc. Upon the use of an illegal move, one of the adversaries would pipe up a shrill mummy!! Her response on each occasion was something to the effect of "you have my sympathy".
There then ensued a united cry from the two adversaries for mediation by mum, the mum on her part refused to be drawn into the conflict and basically said nothing. No encouragement was given and no dissuasion was applied, basically they were on their own.
To cut a long story short, the two combatants after exhausting all their energy lay down, covered in a thick film of sweat panting like two Boa Constrictors after a Horse meal. Ony then did she enquire as to whether they would like a drink of juice. The incidents of random confllict drastically reduced thereafter.
The real life situation in Lebanon, is naturally more complex however a solution would be thus.
1. A cage wrestling contest between Olmert and Nasrallah. Cage to be locked for three days. No rules.
2. A Civilian Free War Game Zone in the middle of the Australian desert with high steel walls, where all the combatants and necessarily all the politicians are dropped in with no reinforcements, the contestants being required to use their ingenuity to devise new weaponry, with a background musical accompaniment of 5000 didgeridoos being piped in via loudspeakers along the whole perimeter. Event to be sponsored by Raytheon, H&K, Dassault and Schmeisser and filmed and aired all over the world. A kind of thinking man's Big Brother.
3. 1 above repeated, but this time with politicians only. An all star cast of Nasrallah, Omert (again), Ahmedinajjad, George Bush, Tony, Bashir Assad, Leaders of Hamas and to make it more exciting - David Cameron and Ming Campbell. A plot twist could be added with Simon Cowell being introduced at a later stage of the hostilities on the side of Hamas. No holds barred and no rules.
The reality is all too different. The Arabs hate Iran + who are sponsors of Hezbollah + but the Arabs equally hate Israel.+ The west naturally hates Hezbollah,+ but loves Israel + that wants to destroy Hezbollah + that hates Israel. In short the conflict shall not end in a hurry and where Israel is oblivious and in fact is determined to attack Civilian targets because Hezbollah is equally determined to use civilian sites as a shield or launch pad for its attacks on Israel, CIVILIANS CASUALTIES SHALL CONTINUE. This of course is nothing new, what scares me is whether something new is about to happen. This is no reality show by the way.
