A question which should, of course, be asked in a broader perspective later on in the course of history. I think, though, that there are two bigger questions to be heard. These two questions are not as obvious as it seems, and people tend to forget that they are not less important than just deciding who won. Though in the middle East winning is, sometimes, all that matters.<br \/>\nThe first question to be asked is <strong>who lost the war?<\/strong> and what did he lose? <strong>Israel lost its pride<\/strong> or at least some of it. And pride and honor is all you can say you had; Israel ruined its economy for this war, and many <a href=\"http:\/\/israblog.nana.co.il\/blogread.asp?blog=244696&#038;blogcode=4615344\">ponder regarding a special investigation<\/a> about the course of this war. It seems that everybody lost \u00e2\u20ac\u201c the Hizbullah did lost as much as Israel, and the Lebanese people seem to be the biggest losers in this war, though the ceasefire is definitely their major victory where they will regain peace, i hope.<br \/>\nThe other question to be <a href=\"http:\/\/www.israelnewsagency.com\/unresolutionisraellebanonhezbollahiransyria17010812.html\">would this war come to an End<\/a>? The quasi-bureaucratic Israel army relies on \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We are waiting for official orders\u00e2\u20ac\u009d while <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2006\/08\/13\/world\/middleeast\/13mideast.html?hp&#038;ex=1155441600&#038;en=6ee985b8fa5f388e&#038;ei=5094&#038;partner=homepage\">it continues to invade Lebanon<\/a> without even thinking of the consequences. On the other hand, <strong>does this ceasefire mean that the Hizbullah will stop shooting?<\/strong> or will Israel still be under attack? What do you think?<br \/>\nOnly today, after reading N\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s post again, i realised that the number is not a random number, it is 10452, the number of Lebanon\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s square km. This number was set with the delicate stability of Lebanon. A number which more than anything else symbolises the coexistence of all players in the Lebanese Game. Another typology is the fact that decision 1701 came 1459 decisions later than 242, 1363 decisions after 338 and 142 decisions after decision 1559, showing again, more than ever, that nothing changes here in the middle east.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Its all the same, only the names will change<br \/>\nEveryday it seems were wasting away<br \/>\nAnother place where the faces are so cold<br \/>\nId drive all night just to get back home<br \/>\nBon Jovi, <em>Dead or Alive<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Numbers, here, are just a way to show that nothing changes, just gets it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s own name.
