Being Disciplined

By Ian Kovnats

Copyright © 2006

At the time it had seemed like a good idea or so Ken had thought. In so many ways it was exciting for him, the star of his High School football team. Being a Senior and 18 had its perks but if his real life had ever gotten out among his classmates he’d be toast. He knew it, which added to the thrill of him being here now, waiting for Nick to start the fun.

He still wasn’t too sure how Nick had convinced him to try this, but the idea had given him a boner which is probably why he had agreed. Ken had never met someone like Nick before, someone who was only a year older but seemed a hundred years smarter, specially when it came to sex. It was still a mystery to him at how Nick had known he was gay, but he had circled him at a victory party and finally had cornered him outside, where he had made his move and now here he was, in Nick’s living room waiting for his Master as he had been told to call him for now. He also had to remember the special word they had agreed on if things were too much for him, but thinking of letting Nick do what he wanted, he had trouble imagining having to use it, but still he kept mumbling it to himself, slightly afraid he might forget it.

The idea that Nick might push him too far had his dick aching as he waited, unsure of what tonight would mean. All he knew for certain was that he would be tied up and made to service Nick in any way Nick wanted. He hoped Nick wouldn’t want to fuck him. He still had a virgin ass and the idea of cock pounding into it made him sweat a little. Ken wasn’t exactly unused to pain but that kind of pain scared him a little. Something he didn’t like to admit either. After all he was the tough football hero and real men never showed their emotions, or so he believed.

Soon as he had arrived, Nick had tied up his hands and then made him get on his knees. It was strange the way Nick had commanded him to strip off his shirt, shoes, and socks, so that he was only wearing his pants.

It didn’t take long either for Nick to get Ken to kneel and just wait. Man he didn’t know what to expect as Nick spoke softly to him, giving him the last minute instructions and making sure Ken knew that he could stop the fun anytime but simply uttering one single word. He had picked it out too for him, and even as he explained things, he insisted Ken end all of his answers with ‘Yes Sir’.

The harsh tug on his pants and sliding them down surprised Ken as he had knelt there. The thrill too though was rising as he wondered just exactly what would Nick do to him and would he manage to stick it out. The uncertainty of it all added to the thrill and eased the rug burn on his knees as he knelt there with his pants at his ankles, his black boxer briefs and firm ass fully exposed.

the start

Turning around slightly he saw the little smirk on Nick’s face and his heart skipped a beat or two. There was something almost evil in that grin and yet pleasing too. Ken felt totally helpless even though only his hands were bound behind his back. He could see Nick admiring his firm ass too and it gave him a nice warm glow even though a bit of chill entered his mind as he noticed the long chain and other goodies that now were next to Nick. Shit he wondered what the chain was for, though he knew what the other stuff was for.

There was more rope too and he figured that would be for his feet but what the fuck was that long rubber thing for that had rings on either end? That kind of had him a bit nervous as Nick just stood there, staring and licking his lips. The silence was unnerving to Ken but he kept quiet, mumbling over and over the safe word for fear of forgetting it. Still the thrill was making him horny too and even the prospect of getting it up the ass no longer seemed unattractive to him. Hell, he knew he’d try it eventually, so why not with Nick?

Nick reached down and he had no idea how, but his pants were gone in a flash. The feel of the pants being pulled hard from his body made him tremble a bit. The sudden slap of Nick’s hand on his firm ass surprised him too and it wasn’t a love tap either. It fucking hurt and then as he wondered about even letting this go further, he felt the soft cotton around his ankles, then the quick jerk as Nick wrapped more rope around them. He could feel him pulling the rope and his feet together and it tingled now. Well something did and he could still feel the sting from the slaps on his ass cheeks. They didn’t hurt now but felt a bit warm and inviting as the thought of ending this session evaporated very quickly.

kneeling

Glancing up he noticed the large hook in the ceiling and he wondered what the fuck it was for. Then it dawned on him as Nick wrapped wrist bands around his wrists and took out a long belt like piece of leather. It was black and felt cold as Nick wrapped it around and then in a sudden show of strength pulled Ken up to his feet. A small step stool suddenly appeared and Nick climbed up on it pulling at Ken’s arms till they were over his head.

With a giant heave and puff of hot breath on his head, Ken felt his feet lift up for a moment and suddenly he was hanging off the hook. He knew now what it was for as he stood there, supported by the hook and his feet barely touching the carpet beneath. It hurt and ached as his arms were holding his entire body weight. The ache though was nothing compared to the thrill in his groin as he let himself relax, a rather hard feat given how his heart was pounding.

Nick still hadn’t said a word since his first instructions. Ken felt apprehensive as he dangled there and took in the room. A small bamboo styled shade seemed to cover one wall and as he hung there, Nick placed a black piece of fabric under him. It was a drop cloth and his imagination suddenly went into overdrive.

What the fuck would he need that for he wondered as he hung there, unwilling to ask or speak. It all felt so unreal to him. He was used to giving the orders on the field and hell, even at school most deferred to him but now he waited, letting someone else take charge, make the decisions for him.

tied up

Again Nick stood on the little stool and this time there was no glint or hint of a smile as he reached around and placed a collar around Ken’s neck. From the collar hung a chain and he let the cold metal drape down the front of Ken’s chest. He said nothing as he gave the chain a quick jerk then ran his hand down Ken’s chest. His fingers played with the exposed nipples but only for a second. As he was about to step off, Nick pinched one nipple hard, twisting it in his grasp and making Ken yelp in pain.

Before he could even think, Ken felt his black briefs being tugged and his hard cock was suddenly sticking out over the elastic waistband. Then he felt the back as his buttocks was also exposed and he felt the excitement rising as he realized that it was all beginning now. Nick was going to do him and he smiled relishing the concept. The joy quickly disappeared as several hard slaps crossed his bare ass cheeks.

Warm oil was suddenly dripping off his chest as Nick poured it over him. The tingle in his cheeks felt even warmer now as he stared at the now naked body of Nick. Well almost naked and he wondered if Nick would suck him off now or wait a bit? He didn’t have long to think about it though as suddenly Nick reached out and gave his dick a quick yank. It wasn’t what he had been used to as Nick played with his balls, slapping them a little and even pulling on them. It hurt but as he cried out a little, he felt like a wusse. Fuck he had felt worse and so he bit his lip as he let Nick toy with his exposed body. The pain really wasn’t bad and after the initial shock he realized a nice warm glow seemed to creep inside his body. It kind of made him want more of the little jabs of pain, just so he could enjoy that growing warmth that would come to him.

hanging out

The press of Nick’s finger down his back made him arch outwards, and his body trembled a bit as Nick’s hand moved down to his ass. He wondered if a few more slaps were coming and he tensed up a bit, but no slaps, no whacks on the ass but instead the finger moved slowly down his crack, spreading the cheeks instead. It felt odd to have his hand wedged into his cheeks and the finger had stopped around his hole, lightly moving around it and then above or below to just more or less circle him.

It reminded Ken of that time at the victory party where he first encountered Nick and he smiled. The smile changed to a look of surprise as a sudden jab of pain lanced upwards from his ass. The finger had stopped circling and had suddenly dug itself deep into Ken’s rectum. He felt the finger wiggle as it dove in past his protesting muscles. The pain grew even as the first glow of warmth began to be noticeable. He didn’t know what to make of it as the finger dug in deeper with each cry from his mouth.

Shit he didn’t even realize he was crying as his virgin ass was suddenly being spread open to the probing finger. Before he could control himself, he felt a second finger reach into his body. Now he had two hard fingers probing his innards and he felt his body surrender, giving in to the digging fingers. Despite the pain, it felt good to him as he wondered if that is how being fucked would feel when he finally did let someone enter him?

The constant thrust of the two fingers made him sweat and yet it felt good, and once more the safe word was kept inside, unspoken as he hung there, letting Nick explore him fully. The fingers touched him in spots that made him groan with pleasure. He had never felt this good before and hoped it wouldn’t end but just as quickly as the fingers had entered him, Nick pulled them out.

The sudden emptiness made him speak, asking for more but he had forgotten to say Sir and it earned him a hard whack across his lower buttocks. It wasn’t Nick’s hand either and he cried out in pain as the stinging sensation filled his mind. It reminded him of his orders and with a shaken voice he added the sir to his repeated request for more finger fucking. That stopped him from being whacked a third time, and he wondered if maybe he hadn’t spoken too soon. The warmth was again filling his body as Nick now reached around to cup his balls and stroke his throbbing cock. He felt the fingers wrapping around his stiff pole and it was unbelievable at how good it felt. He could also feel the cum inside wanting to be released which surprised him. He usually wasn’t his ready to shoot his jizz but the ache inside was nearly too much. Nick seemed to sense that as he let go of the hard cock and stepped back, holding the blindfold now before Ken’s relieved face.

Obsessed with Sex

July 27th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Gaystoryman Opinions

Kind of makes you wonder if perhaps the United States Congress, Department of Justice (specifically the Attorney General) and El Presidente Bush are not just a bunch of wankers who don’t get enough one on one action. I mean they way they mis-use the legal offices of say the FBI and others to pursue with reckless abandon all us evil Adult Webmasters.

tushie award

In a trade publication, AVN Online they report on the FBI beginning at long last the industry’s anticipated visitations on compliance with 2257 record keeping. In case you aren’t sure what I am talking about it is just one more instance where the US Congress has decided to flex its muscles on ridding the world of those evil predators, the hated Pedophile.

Don’t get me wrong, I don’t like them either but I question the methods. I mean let’s be honest, a pedophile is not going to keep proper records if any, so forcing honest business people to keep names, addresses, and other personal information on performers is not only stupid, but dangerous. I can see the guy shooting the pictures, videos, needing that information, but the average Joe running a website?

So let me see, if I sign up for XXX Photo Content I am required to get all the personal information of the models or risk going to jail, assuming that XXX is a USA based company. NIce but what if by some odd chance I am a stalker or worse, and just want to find a victim? The USA makes it oh so easy now thanks to 2257 requirements, but hey it gets better too.

The Congress has also passed what is being dubbed the Adam Walsh bill that sets up a database that anyone can use to verify the whereabouts of a registered sex offender. So now let’s say I am not a stalker but some zealot who thinks the criminal system let these folks off too easy. Easy to find them now and give them old fashioned Justice thanks again to Uncle Sam and his minions on Capital Hill.

Course at the same time, research into Stem Cell that could cure a person with a spinal injury and other illnesses is Vetoed by Herr Bush. Guess we know where his priorities are, in Sex and not in Health.

Non USA companies of course don’t do that, so in a sort of round about fashion, the US Congress limits the competition too. I mean as a US Webmaster you need that info or go to jail for 5 years I believe, so what you going to do?

Odd isn’t it. The material isnt illegal but a USA Webmaster can do hard time simply because he/she doesn’t have the proper documentation. Crazy world I think.

Like why not go after the negligent parents? Just a thought

Mind you this at a time when known drug kingpins, terrorist wannabees, illegal immigrants, thieves, murders, and such can walk across the Mexican/USA border with wild abandon. Hell even when picked up they are back in the USA within 24 hours as in the case in Los Angelese. Or how about the case of the Arizona Sherrif who is forced to release convicted illegal immigrants because the feds haven’t bothered to investigate the people convicted.

Talk about ludicrous.

I suppose the biggest piss off is here is the FBI spending valuable resources insuring that open and above board companies have proper paper work. They are understaffed in looking for the thousands of supposed Terrorists in the USA but they got manpower to go after the Adult Industry.

With Bush’s attack on the entire adult industry, it kind of makes you wonder how he ever had three children given his hatred for sex.

Ya suppose he had his eyes closed?

It is Life

July 27th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Rambling On, World View

I guess maybe I am tired. The heat and worrying about what the tests will show have me on edge, or perhaps it is simply the disintegration of life as i know it that has me feeling angry and upset. Maybe it is times like this I should walk away from the computer but then, that just isn’t me.

Too many deaths when people should be waking up to enjoy life, not burying next of kin. Too many bombs going off instead of people jostling for the morning coffee.  Seems that as each day passes, things don’t improve but worsen.

I know that many in the Middle East are tired of war, yet are powerless to gain peace. Even as we right this some rocket is being fired off against Israel, some artillery shell is being aimed at Lebanon. It just never ends and everyone wants to blame the other. ( see my Gay Talk Blog, Consider This )

Hell even I get tired of all this and yes, in all honesty neither side has behaved like mentshe (gentlement) and it seems that the lust for blood is too much for common sense. Personally who cares if there is another Arab state? I think they should have it and let’s end this bullshit. Course, what they agreed to as boundaries last year isn’t what they want this year, so I guess the war will continue there.

I think too that the blood lust is so great that even outsiders are willing to wage a war for something that really no one knows or understands. I mean remember the IRA? Can anyone today tell me what that was ever really about? Just Protestant against Catholic and we call ourselves Civilized?

It’s amazing really but you know, it reminds me too of a passage in an old movie. Shoes of the Fisherman. It starred Anthony Quinn and was written by Morris West. In the movie and book there is this scene, where the new Pope ( a Russian) is in a tenanent house, giving last rites more or less to a dying old Jewish man. The son or relative turns to the Pope and says:

It isn’t the dying we mind so much, it is the living that defeats us.

Maybe that is it in a nutshell. Is this a test by God to see where we stack up in the after life? I don’t know, all I know is that I am tired of death even as it comes closer for me. I guess I am an idealist and I wonder why when people are starving they support people who instead of buying food, buy Katusha Rockets or AK47’s?

Just makes no sense to me.

Whatever happened to the old cliche of ‘turning the other cheek’? Today we pass laws banning a minority from enjoying the same rights we do, we have a President who openly says he’ll defy the will of congress thru 800 signing statements and no one complains? I don’t get it, as we parse words (thanks Bill Clinton for that one) about whether it is civil war or getting close.

Fact is, people are dying because of religious differencs at the rate of 100 a day. Do you think their families care what label you put on it?

The world is nuts so I have to realize I can’t change it, but I can maybe make it a bit brighter. So I think we shall write a new erotic story to post here and who knows, maybe a few minutes of R&R will help ease some of that tension. Maybe it will help make the living not so awful.

Simple Solution

July 26th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Rambling On, World View

Given all the anxst over the latest bloodshed between Israel and its Arab neighbours, the accusations of deliberate bombings by Israel of UN Observer Posts, the wrangling among allies on how best to get a ceasefire, the anger by the Arabs over the supposed favoritism of America over Israel perhaps there should be a simple solution instead of all this constant inaction and bickering.

Let Israel Die.

Really, I am serious. I mean if Israel is truly the bad buy, the Aggressor (as the Iraqi Prime Minister suggests) then be done with such a troublesome country. Let Hamas have its way or that of Hezbollah and Syria and Iran and yes even the Saudis. Let them fund a multi national Arab army to attack and destroy Israel.

Let them send countless rockets into the cities and small towns to kill Jews. Let this force no longer sneak in the dead of night to slit Jew throats, let them go after them with good old fashioned tanks and guns bought by oil money. You know, the same money that bought George Bush the White House? I mean after all, these nations are Staunch Allies and should be allowed to clean up the nasty mess created by that horrible murderous bully Israel. Besides, they are just Jews.

The world knows how to deal with them. If you can’t gas them into extinction, you can at least terrorize them for 58 years and when that doesn’t work, well send in the armies of the Arab republics. Only this time, don’t stop the fighting, let it go on till they finally defeat the Israel Defence Force and so can then move into the wipe up phase, by shooting and killing innocent children.

No more sneaking one or two hardened heroes in to bomb nightclubs and cafes. Send in whole battalions of bomb strapped fanatics to go into every store, every school, every bulding and get all them nasty bullying Jews. I mean what good are they anyhow, so what if Christ was a Jew, not like he cares, he’s dead now and its up to the Holy Father in Rome to decide what is best. After all he has first hand knowledge of how to deal with Jews, he was in the German Army during WWII so he should have some idea or more.

Now course them Jews are stiff necked and stubborn. After all 58 years of being hounded, isolated, ostracized and admonished along with daily attacks and threats of attacks hasn’t stopped them, but this ultimate plan should. It is a matter of numbers, so just keep on pouring more fuel onto the fire. Get the United Nations Secretrary General to try and erode public opinion by suggesting Israel attacked deliberately UN Observers. Don’t mind that the very same organization demanded disarmament of the Heroes of this latest war, and were ignored. Never mind that in Iraq today after liberation nearly 100 Iraqi’s a day are killed by other Iraqi’s. Its the Jews fault anyhow so end this simply, go in and destroy them.

Mind you after what, 3 full out wars Israel grew in territory so maybe this time, the USA should join in too. They got lots of experience at invasion lately so they could help. And hey they have troops right nearby. I mean they are helping rush aid to those poor freedom fighters right now even. Nothing like patching up those poor Hezbollah fighters so they can go launch a few more rockets into civilian zones until the big push comes.

It is a world of Finger Pointing.

So how about we go back to 1948 when all this started. After all doesn’t blame belong on those who create the problem and not just those who have to live with it?  So go back to 1948 when Israel was made a state and every single Arab nation of the day went to war against this tiny state. The world stood by as the ill trained ill equipped Israelis stood their ground and held them back. They even managed to carve a road to keep Jeruselem supplied but hey, that is what you get for being stubborn. Sometimes you really do move mountains.

So go back to 1948 when the Arab leaders then, and today promised their people free land once they killed every single living Jew there. Course the IDF had other plans and still does. So maybe an all out offensive against them won’t work. Though you would think that after 58 years those crazy Jews would have had enough and moved on.

Maybe instead of an all out attack, maybe, we rethink this. Maybe, just maybe we start using our fucking heads and realize that Israel is there to stay and will continue to fight those who want to kill them. Maybe then we can find peace by forcing weak whining cowards to disappear from the political stage and start dealing in truth and honesty instead of semantics and what is or isn’t politically correct bullshit.

Perhaps one day the world will hear what the Israeli’s have said from the doorways of the ovens at Buchenwald, from the graveyards of Auschwitz and from the holy ground of Masada, that they WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT ANYMORE!

Perhaps the world will stop worrying about fueling its air conditioners and luxury SUVs long enough to see that in 1956, 1967, 1973, Israel is not a weak foe waiting to be killed, but is a force willing to fight for what it believes in.

GO HOME MALIK FROM IRAQ

GO HOME CONDALEZA RICE

JEWS WILL NO LONGER STAND BY TO BE LED TO THE GAS CHAMBERS OF YOUR WORLD. THEY WILL FIGHT UNTIL YOU KILL THEM ALL. 

and The Noose Gets Tighter…

July 26th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Bite Me!, Rambling On, World View

Ever since George Bush seized power and his Republicans gained control over American politics, the noose on human rights continues to get tighter. It is almost like a concerted effort to not just knock back some rights, but to actually obliterate them so they can never make a comeback.

The passage of a sex crime database bill is just one more in a long line of legislation that on the surface is fine and dandy and appears to favour children. I mean we are all for protecting kids, except maybe many parents. That’s for a different post, but it amazes me how in the name of keeping kids safe, they are willing to through others to the lions, so to speak.

For example, if an 18 year old is charged with rape and convicted they are listed as a sex offender. Makes sense but if the girl was 16 or 17 and it was consentual, how is that Rape, yet in many states it is. So here we have a kid serving time and forced to register as a sex offender when in reality he was simply a horny normal teenager who ran afoul of some irate parent and over zealous prosecutor. So now this kid is suddenly a target for any zealot who things they should be God’s avenging angel. ( Gay Persuasion )

If it isn’t about sex, then its about abortion. Call me crazy but now once more the attack on Woman and their right of choice is again being widdled away with the passage of a Bill making it illegal for anyone to help a pregnant teen cross a state line for an abortion. ( see CBS Story )

With many states now passing tougher abortion laws, this is just one more step towards a return to the dark ages when women were desperate and sought out abortions in back rooms and alleys. It is also a way to salve those states who think the federal government is too lax on abortion.

In short this is about politics, not helping a teenager.

Democrats complained that the measure was the latest in a series of bills designed chiefly to energize the GOP’s base of conservative voters.

“Congress ought to have higher priorities than turning grandparents into criminals,” said Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.  ( CBS Story )

I don’t know but given how many parents constantly blame others for their child’s rotten behaviour, to make them determine if their kid can bring another into the world is merely adding fuel to the fire it seems. I suppose being male I have a different take than most, but it would seem to me that any kid who is willing to go out of state to end their pregnancy should not be forced to have that kid in the first place.

What about grandparents who take the child across state lines because mommy is a drug addict or the parents are abusive? Where are the safeguards here?

That really is the whole trouble it seems, as once more Politics takes precedence over honest government. Mind you, the more I see the less of a difference I see between a Democrat and a Republican. They are both on the God Bandwagon simply to get votes. Whatever happened to speaking to the issues and not pandering to self interest here?

I guess its simply they love the money and power that comes from being a Congressperson or Senator and to hell with the people and their needs.

Outrage At Displacement & Deaths

July 25th, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Bite Me!, Rambling On, World View

I suppose that maybe I am a bit jaded these days, however it galls me to listen to some politicians. I mean Secretary of State Rice made a surprise visit to Beirut and told the Prime Minister the United States has concern for the displaced and dead in the latest Middle East war.

The fighting came as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived in the region, making an unannounced stop in Beirut, where she met Lebanon’s Prime Minister Fuad Saniora. Rice expressed concern for Lebanese suffering, and the United States said it would give $30 million to aid in the country’s recovery. “Thank you for your courage and steadfastness,” she told Saniora.  ( see Story )

Now I don’t know, but let me see, this all started this go round because Hezbollah was firing off rockets into Israel for the last few years, and then to top it all off, went and kidnapped two Israeli soldiers. All the time that they were doing this, the United Nations had passed security resolution after resolution requiring the Lebanese Government to disarm Hezbollah.

And here is the Great USA thanking Lebanon for its steadfastness? What, they ignored the United Nations and did absolutely nothing about disarming Hezbollah. As a direct result of their own inaction, war is now spreading across their country and so the greatest Democracy ever thanks them?

Give me a damn break.

I just don’t get it. I mean this war is as much their own fault as Hezbollah for their inability to disarm terrorists. Worse, three of their government ministers are members of the political wing of Hezbollah. So Rice thanks Lebanon? For what?

Causing another Middle East war?

Then of course we have the whining about nearly 380 dead Lebanese killed by Air strikes and Artillery shelling. I would say given the amount of artillery shells sent to Lebanon plus the continuous Air strikes, that Israel has shown a great deal of accuracy and restrain. I mean come on, it isn’t easy to target building like they have and not have incidental damage and deaths, yet the Lebanese Prime Minister complains about 380 dead.

But the visit was tense. Saniora angrily laid out the damage to his country, including about 380 people killed and about 750,000 displaced, and said the Israeli bombing had set Lebanon back 50 years, the prime minister’s office said. (see Story)

I wonder how many incidental deaths there would be if it was the vaunted United States doing the air strikes and shelling? Few thousand perhaps?

Don’t get me wrong, any deaths are horrible, but let’s call a spade a spade. The deaths of Lebanese and those rushing to hide in Syria is due to Hezbollah attacks and worse, Lebanese Government inaction. If anyone is truly to blame for these deaths it really is the Lebanese government.

It seems to just come back down to the simple fact. The USA is once again meddling. Why don’t they do something right and force Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah. I mean not like they are careful on where their rockets land, now are they?

More than 80 rockets crashed into northern Israel as of Monday evening, wounding about 20 people, the military said. The rockets again touched off brush fires, turning the clear summer sky gray with smoke in the town of Kiryat Shemona, which was hit by a heavy barrage in the afternoon. ( see Story )

I suppose this is what they mean when they talk about the Fog of War. I wonder though, if it wasn’t a bunch of Jews doing the attacking, would the USA be so genial with Lebanon? Maybe the Lebanese Prime Minister bought Bush a new sweater like Tony Blair did?

When is Enough going to be Enough?

Ceasefire or Slug Away?

July 23rd, 2006 | No Comments | Posted in Rambling On, World View

The news this weekend is that Israel might accept international peace keepers between the Israel and Lebanon border.

Israel’s Defence Minister says his country would accept a temporary international force along the Lebanese border. ( See Story )

Appears that Uncle George is talking with the Israeli’s about it but one has to wonder about the effectiveness of any force. I mean there already is one there, the United Nations even passed one of its many security resolutions giving the Lebanese Government orders to disarm Hezbollah. We have seen how well that has worked, so again, should there be a ceasefire?

What advantages does a ceasefire give anyone?

As heartless as it might seem, does it solve anything? Will Hezbollah honor it or will they use it to ingrate themselves further into Lebanese governmental affairs and eventually cause the destruction of the Lebanese state itself? Can anyone disarm Hezbollah under a ceasefire to insure that peace continues once the fighting ends?

Will a ceasefire effect the release of two kidnapped Israeli soldiers?

There has been a great deal of bloodshed spilt already, but will a ceasefire prevent more? Somehow I just don’t see how and I wonder, are we perhaps simply trying to put a Genie back in its bottle for another day instead of being serious about establishing Peace in the region?
