A Victory for Peace?

Catholic World News reports:

Speaking from his summer residence on Castel Gandolfo, after celebrating Mass in the parish church there, the Holy Father welcomed the arrival of a ceasefire in Lebanon, which he called "a victory for peace today."

Hizballah sees it differently.

Bush begs to differ with Hizballah.

What to make of all this?

Thomas Sowell asks what the latest cease-fire will do and answers:

It will give Hezbollah a breather from Israeli retaliation and allow them time to get new shipments of military equipment from Iran, rebuild their military infrastructure and prepare for the next round of attacks on Israel.

Will the UN prevent this from happening? Apparently not...

...which suggests this current cease-fire will likely be short-lived and that claims of victory, of any kind, may be premature.
