Captain Ed says that Hamas may be ready to give in. I see this as a encouraging sign. Other observers feel that it's just a move to allow them to restock and rearm. The optimist in me says that if you can get them to negotiate at all, then they're already showing signs of accepting the maturity it takes to run a country, instead of running a terrorist organization.
Now with Hezbollah, I think Israel made a mistake upfront. After the kidnapping of IDF soldiers that precipitated this whole war, Israel should have asked Lebanon what their position was: Would they actively help get the soldiers back, or would they back Hezbollah. I would have like to seen them take a public position.
