Más de Liberty Bell. En fin, no quiero ser mala onda ni decir "se los dije", pero, como me temía, el “alto el fuego” del Líbano está resultando exactamente lo mismo que los incontables "altos el fuego" anteriores de la región. Es una broma de mal gusto.

Lo de Francia me lo veía venir hace rato, lamentablemente.

A Munich-style pause

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.

Resolution 1701 shows that, for the time being at least, the balance has likewise shifted to the terrorists and their state sponsors. Like Munich, it marks the triumph of the principle of putting off until tomorrow what needs to be done today. Like Munich, it will mean not peace in our time, but a bigger war in our future.
