This is worth a read. As always, Col Lang's insight into the Lebanon crisis has been very sharp.

Chris,

For one thing, that language is in the preamble, not the text of the resolution.

I'm at a loss as to what makes this agreement "useless" - it gets Hezbollah out of southern Lebanon, puts an effective military force that isn't Israeli or American (which IMHO is a good thing for regional tensions) in the buffer zone formerly occupied by Israel, and gives the Lebanese government a fighting chance of reestablishing true sovereignty over its own territory for the first time since 1970 or so. There are simply no better options on the table. Israel has neither the military capacity nor the will to eradicate Hezbollah in Lebanon (heck, in four decades of occupation of the West Bank and Gaza, it hasn't even been able to get rid of the far less formidable Palestinian terror groups, with full control of the borders and a standing occupation force). And neither does any other western power.

Once again, the UN has demonstrated its uselessness. The diplomats are so out of touch with reality that it is scary. It boggles my mind to understand why we in the US continue to participate in a body of the worlds most useless persons.

This so called agreement will sooner, rather than later, turn up to bite the free world right in the rear end.

In the meantime, we will see every UN member pat themselves for their "good work" in passing a resolution that will be another 1559.

Worthless.

the war has merely been put on hold, not ended. What the consequences of this will be for the future only time will tell, but I don’t think it will be good for Israel or the United States.
