War mistakes

News that Israeli commandos have already engaged in agressive action in Lebanon will come as no suprise to most. The Israeli government is launching an enquiry into what went wrong (here) . Well, I can tell them. They were aggressive and invasive and that doesn't seem to be a good combination. In fact one would have to question whether the agressive-invasive tactic has been at all sucessful in the last 40 years.
Those who see war as a strategy for peace will tell us that some times it is the only way.
My point is...it doesn't seem to work.
As for the Israelis, well I don't think they are actually investigating why they didn't succeed in blowing the crap out of Hezbollah; rather it's why they didn't succeed in blowing the crap out of Hezbollah without question by the rest of the world!!!
