Wars are no longer won on the ground, they are instead waged by the P.R. spin that accompanies them. In the case of the recent Israel/Hezbollah conflict, Israel won by the facts on the ground. They killed a lot of their enemies, destroyed much of their fighting capability, and stopped the rockets from falling. Unfortunately the Muslim P.R. machine combined with left-leaning U.S. press turned this into a victory for Hezbollah. It wasn't. It also wasn't the resounding Israeli victory I had hoped for, but it certainly wasn't a loss. Unfortunately much of the world seems to be acting like it was a loss, and reality no longer seems to matter in our virtual age. While the facts on the ground are that Israel won, for all intents and purposes they lost.
