Default U.N. cease-fire resolution

So the U.N. is passing some cease-fire resolution on the whole Israel/Hezbollah/Lebannon thing.

Any reason for me to believe things over there will improve?

What in their history makes you think otherwise?

Not a damn thing. In my eyes, it is highly doubtful this resolution will change anything. Terrorists will continue to take pot shots at Israel, until things blow up once again. Then the international community will call for an "immediate cessation of hostilities", and the cycle continues.

I think things will improve for a little while, maybe a year of two but I do not see any sort of lasting peace taking hold.
