Which Liberal Administration, that is fighting wars in Afghanistan and Iraq for several years, ran to the UN after one month and raised its hand forcing a cease fire on a Democracy fighting the most powerful band of terrorists on Earth?

I don't think we forced it on them. They want it more than we do. Of course, all sides probably are content to make it seem they had it forced on them.

Olmert made the mistake of overruling his generals when they proposed to invade Lebanon on the ground in the early days of the war. Ultimately, he relented, but by then the damage had been done.
