this Arab-Israeli conflict really was very similar to previous ones. so inconclusive, with both sides claiming victorious in an uneasy ceasefire. it really leaves you thinking, was anything really achieved by it? well, now that it's over, i guess you could say that peace, at least by its political definition, is achieved. but that was already in place prior to the events. anyway, as Peter said, fighting a war for peace is like "f--ing for virginity," and isn't that why Israel launched its raid? at the end of the day, both sides have lost lives and accumulated fervor, and are ultimately as insecure as ever. victorious indeed.
EDIT: the war lasted 22 days; maybe they will call it the 22 day war? anyway, i like how my last post was at exactly the midpoint of the war, haha.
