But they haven't. The misunderstanding is that this is a PR war, not a physical war. The number one rule of fighting is that you don't bring a gun to a media fight. And if someone is aggressively picking a fight with you, you don't let them dictate when, where, and how. This is too big of a topic to cover in a small email, but basically what Israel needed to do was challenge the World - not Hezbollah. They needed to put together a media blitz with all kinds of facts and evidence such as effects of rocket attacks, a whole work up of the captured soldiers families and lives, video of Hezbollah rockets, etc. Then they needed to confront 1st Lebanon with a "Will you let this stand? Will you team with us to solve this problem? Or will you do nothing?" Then they needed to confront the World - not the UN. America - Will you let this stand? Russia - will you let this stand? Egypt - will you let this stand? Then they needed to warn Lebanon that if they wouldn't do anything and if they wouldn't team with Israel, then Israel would need to take military action. The with all of this is that it would need to be on the evening news every night. On Al Jezerra (sp?) every day. They needed a full blown PR offensive. They needed to force every country to answer their question. Then they invade. It's not a military-vs-diplomacy debate. It's putting together the right mix at the right time for maximum effect. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Introducing the Fusion Authority Quarterly Update. 80 pages of hard-hitting, up-to-date ColdFusion information by your peers, delivered to your door four times a year. http://www.fusionauthority.com/quarterly Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Community/message.cfm/messageid:212088 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.5
