Mr. MALLEY: Well, it certainly sounds like war, and I'm sure that for the people on theground, whether in Lebanon or in Israel it's feeling very much like war, when you have a naval and sea blockade, when you have air strikes, when you have katyusha rockets fired into Israel.
Had this reenactment happened on hollowed ground, where a real battle took place, the joy we are all feeling right now may have been replaced by dread.
