Ceasefire Terms

In an essay on National Review Online today, John O’Sullivan says “the terms of the ceasefire are reasonably fair — i.e., not unfavorable to Israel.” The problem here is that this is not a desirable outcome, this is what happens when you prosecute a military engagement without committing yourself to the destruction of the enemy: fair terms. Remember, if you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck. The same goes for fair ceasefire terms.
