Israel's failure to eradicate Hezbollah marks a major defeat in the War on Terror. It not only
emboldened the Shiite militia, but it also bolstered Iran's pursuit of nuclear weapons.
Furthermore, it strengthens Tehran's hand in Iraq, where it has been fomenting and backing sectarian violence. Not to mention the fact that Hezbollah has opened up an office in Sadr City.
America stands culpable as well. Not only was it the chief architect of UN Resolution 1701, an utterly feeble declaration--but it has allowed Hezbollah to kill Americans with impunity for over two decades.
Make no mistake: This is a major defeat.
