...immediate end to the fighting, followed by a cease-fire agreement to allow for the deployment of an international force to police such a truce, the U.S. is insisting that there be no demand for a halt to Israel's offensive until a mechanism is in place to disarm Hizballah. These differences are not diplomatic hair-splitting - they reflect profound differences over the fate of Hizballah. The only acceptable outcome for the U.S. is a defeat for Hizballah, because if the movement survives the onslaught with its independent military capability intact, it will be seen throughout the Arab world...

...lead an international force, are making clear that the international community is not going to finish the job for Israel, and will only police a cease-fire when one has been agreed to by the Lebanese government, which includes Hizballah. In other words, it won't try to disarm Hizballah unless Hizballah has agreed to be disarmed. And the only formula likely to achieve that objective on the basis of the current battlefield situation would be an agreement among Lebanese parties to somehow incorporate Hizballah's fighting forces into the Lebanese Army - which may not be quite what...

...deployment to south Lebanon of the Lebanese Army and some leading-edge units of an international stabilization force.

...Lebanese government wants an immediate cease-fire, with the longer-term agreements aimed at ending hostilities to follow. And it envisages a process based on Hizballah's consent - the movement would agree to disarm not as an act of surrender, but because Israel has agreed to settle the outstanding disputes with Lebanon over owndership of the Shebaa Farms area and the fate of Lebanese prisoners in Israeli jails. The Qana killings will likely increase Hizballah's influence over the position of the Lebanese government: The two Lebanese officials with whom Secretary Rice met last week - Prime Minister Fuad Siniora...

...Until now, the U.S. has insisted that a cease-fire be called only when Hizballah is ready to surrender its independent armed role, and a mechanism to disarm it is in place. That would involve deploying a robust international force to prevent further Hizballah attacks and possibly taking charge of the process of disarming the movement, eventually paving the way the Lebanese army to take charge of the border...
