Now comes the finger-pointing.

In Israel, some will say that they have achieved a great victory. Hizbullah has been served notice that it cannot act with impunity. Lebanon and the Lebanese have been served notice that there are consequences when crimes are committed against Israel. The Arab world has been served notice that Israel will not stand still when attacked.

However, others in Israel will say that the war was a failure. The two boys kidnapped from their tank in northern Israel have not been returned.

Where were they when Iran was delivering missiles to Hezbollah via Syria?
