The withdrawal from Lebanon was complete and certified by the United Nations, yet Hezbollah does not disarm and when it attacks Israeli soldiers, only the Bush administration stands up for Israel. The withdrawal from Gaza was not complete (because of Israeli control of Gaza's borders), but the failure of the world community to turn the withdrawal into a success and the resultant bombardment of Sderot and environs from Gaza has turned an opportunity for peace into a confirmation (in Israel's supporters minds) that withdrawal is a mistake and will be met with continued aggression.
