HOORAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
maybe now Israel can stop worrying about the northern border...
Hopefully we can tie this in with a successful (hopeful) reform Iranian candidate.

I'm happy with the result, but now the question remains wether the new government will be stupid enough to try to disarm Hezbollah again.
