What is this "peace mission" that the BBC is referring to [BBC World, Internet, TV etc]? It is not a 'peace mission' - it's a mission to avoid an immediate ceasefire at all costs - thus giving Israel "as long as necessary" to 'destroy Hezbollah' at a rate of a few Hezbollah 'terrorists' per 100 civilians - as reported by the UN one third of the victims are children. The result will be more 'radicalism' not less.
