War between Hezbollah and Israel.

Introduction

At the time of cold war , democratic world was , virtually , confronted by only one threat , coming from the Communist regime of the Soviet Union This foe , though being dangerous , was quite predictable and civilized to certain extent . After the Cold War seized it seemed that world would finally find global peace and mutual consent . However , things have turned different and such hopes vanished into a thin air . The world community faced new , formerly unwitnessed , threats related to religious national , and ethnic intolerance . Commonly accepted , though ultimately mistaken , is the belief

that the fighting against these threats must be narrowed down to the war against a particular enemy , world terrorism

Comparing the old and new world (time before and after the Cold War ) it must be noted that confrontation between democratic world and the Soviet Union was based on certain rules , preventing the world from the global conflict . Confrontation with a new enemy has no rules at all . It turns out that to settle a conflict of a new type is more difficult than it used to be , partially because of the reason that sometimes it is practically , impossible to detect a real initiator of a conflict . All participators of a conflict are guilty . The bright example of the conflict of new type is the last war between Israel and Hezbollah
