[New York Post] Editorial - President Bush and British Prime Minister Tony Blair made it clear in a White House press conference Friday that they won't allow terrorists and their state sponsors to win in Lebanon. "What has happened in the past few weeks is not an isolated incident - it's part of a bigger picture," said Blair. "There is a big picture out in the Middle East, which is about reactionary and terror groups trying to stop what the vast majority of people in the Middle East want, which is progress toward democracy, liberty, human rights." Bush noted, "The temptation is to say, 'It's too tough. Let's just try to solve it quickly with something that won't last. Let's just get it off the TV screens.' But that won't solve the problem." Calling an immediate halt to Israel's attack on Hizballah's infrastructure, before any political solution is reached, will merely give the terrorists the chance to retrench before they trigger the next round of fighting.
