Meaningless Resolution

     The UN Security Council has passed a Cease-Fire Resolution that adresses only a portion of the Lebanon-Israel issue, and failed to put any teeth in it. !5,000 members of the Lebanees Army along with a bolstered UNFIL force are to see to the "cease-fire. The Lebanees Army could do nothing about Hezbullah before the present conflict, and the UNFIL force has no authority to do much more then issue satements. Under 1559 Hezbullah was suppose to be dis-armed, instead they were supplied and re-enforced by Iran via Syria. What is the purposed resolution with its powerless over-seers going to accomplish.

        At best lip service is going to be paid to a diplomatic solution in ending the current conflict. At its worst it will allow Hezbullah to rearm, and put Israel back into a situation where rockets once again can indiscriminately rain down on its civilian population. Anyone who does not consider this as terrorism needs to be medically examined and committed to a mental institution.

        This resolution also does not address the cause of the present conflict, which is the return of the two Israelie soldiers who where kidnapped triggering the conflict. While there are supposed to be future resolutions coming from the UN Security council, I see no real peace or resolution to these issues unless a real multi-national force is put into Lebanon. It must be one empowered to stop supplies of arms from reaching Hezbullah, and also with the power and ability to dis-arm Hezbullah. That may mean being capable of conducting armed combat with this group, as i do not see Hezbullah willingly laying down their arms just because they are asked to.
