Soul searching
Article Abstract:
The presence of thousands of United Nations (UN) peacekeeping troops in south Lebanon to prevent another round of hostilities between the Hizbollah and Israel offers the right environment for some soul searching. Both countries must question how a border skirmish in which two Israeli soldiers were kidnapped and eight others killed turned into a war that ended with the death of more than 1,700 people and so much devastation on both sides.
