The shortest 48 hours I've known

From MSNBC:

JERUSALEM - The Israeli air force carried out strikes Monday in southern Lebanon despite an agreement to halt raids for 48 hours after nearly 60 Lebanese civilians were killed in an Israeli bombing, the army said.

Not the most important 48 hours in the Middle East in years...

Since it wasn't even 48 hours.

This is a squandered opportunity for Israel- an opportunity to refocus attention on Hezbollah and their violence. Israel- for strategic and moral reasons- should respect the 48 hour moratorium they imposed.
