It almost goes without saying that unilateral declarations of cease-fire or truce, especially when they're cluttered up with all kinds of qualifiers and conditions and claims of victimhood, usually aren't sincere or effective. And when, consequently, they're inevitably rescinded, the resumption of attack is usually more vicious than ever. This rule would appear to apply in the blogosphere, as well as in the Middle East.
