#1 If it doesn't call for the release of two kidnapped Israeli soldiers, it's a non-starter. Actually it should require the release of Shalit by Hamas, too.

#2 It's a nonstarter. Hezb will not refrain from shooting at the hated Jooooos. Israel's granted the right of self defense. Also, Shebaa Farms should never got to Lebanon in any agreement - that was already "settled" by UN fiat before

#3 giving Kofi Annan one month to work with the parties to come up with new proposals to implement the demands spelled out in resolution 1559 and elsewhere.

So that gives Israel at least another month to bounce an increasing swath of Hizb'allah rubble, after the resolution is passed. I don't think the bad guys are winning anything significant here.

#4 a month long abuse of hezbs - no resupply - Iran hanging, looking impotent.

I like it
