No to extended ground offensive
According to the press, the Israeli cabinet has approved an expanded military operation - a move recommended by chief of staff dan halutz. Israel will allow 48 hours of diplomacy before Olmert and Peretz decide to launch the operation.
This plan has a bad waft about it. It stinks frankly. This obsession with a military solution is getting to Israel's head. A diplomatic solution remains the only alternative. The int. community has been frankly hopeless and the bikering over a un resolution between the US and France is a little pathetic.
Israel must treat the diplomatic path seriously. It must stop listening to the generals as if they are some divine prophets. War - should always be the last resort - diplomacy is the appropriate way to go.
