For those left who care about sanity, nowadays, the storm clouds parted, and the sun shone through, with news that the United States and France have reached an agreement on a cease fire between Israel and Lebanon at the United Nations this afternoon.
One would hope that both sides wouldn't wait for the ink to dry on the resolution before stopping their ground and air campaigns. Still, this may be the first time that the Americans and French have agreed on anything with the possible exception of french fries.
