Revisionism

It usually takes years for revisionist history to get written. It's taken less than a few weeks for some to offer un-conventional wisdom on the Israeli-Hizbollah conflict.

Dean Barnett discusses the situation and concludes: So, at best, the Israel-Hezbollah war was a missed opportunity. More likely, the war gave our malefactors the impression that we lack sufficient backbone, and can be outlasted and outfought.

Whatever tactical setbacks Hezbollah and Iran suffered, they weren’t worth the emboldening effect that the war had on them and their fellow travelers.
