I think Hezbollah made a seriously stupid mistake to provoke Israel when recent history shows that it doesn't pay to mess with Israel. I think Israel made an equally stupid mistake to resort to air-power and blitz Lebanon.
In the argument about who claims "Victory!" I think neither side won anything worth cheering about.

PS: I suspect that Hezbollah may have been had by Iran.
