Lebanon itself cannot establish its sovereignty in the country’s south, and Israeli military force is incapable of doing it. Empty words from St. Petersburg, Brussels, or UN headquarters will not suffice, nor will a mere ceasefire, as that would simply return the area to square one.
真主党作为南黎巴嫩的国中之国存在下去是对黎巴嫩主权不能容忍的侵犯。合法政权的真空造成了目前的危机，因而必须终止。黎巴嫩自身无力在其南部建立主权，而且以色列军事力量也无法做到这一点。来自圣彼得堡、布鲁塞尔或者联合国总部的空洞之辞无济于事，仅仅停火也是一样，因为那就会把这一地区返回到最初状态。
