Who is not in the real world here?

Hezbollah is not even there fighting. They left a few people to kill some Israelis and ran off to Beirut
This is a great Newsweek piece and explains why Israel will fail. Israel should get out of the Stone Age thinking and start moving to other countries. Give back all the land, eventually these crazy extremists will use a nuclear weopon and blow up all of Israel anyway. This notion that there is holy land is absurd.

Nothing suggests that Hassan Nasrallah, the Hizbullah leader, is stupid enough to stand and fight a conventional war. Sure, he will sacrifice zealots as cannon fodder in the south. But he and the senior ranks have already retreated into Beirut. Israel can destroy much of Hizbullah’s stockpiles and bunkers near the border. But that will buy, at best, no more than a couple of years’ respite. Staking out a strip of land, whether by Israel or by some international force, will not bring peace.
The one certainty is that the assault on Lebanon will bring a surge of recruits to Hizbullah, which will now be as powerful a magnet for young Shiite firebrands as Al Qaeda is for their Sunni cohorts.
