UN Resolutions just aren't worth the paper they're printed on, are they?
Israel threatens to resume war if Hizbullah refuses to disarm | Jerusalem PostSeems to me that 'keep their weapons' isn't exactly 'disarming'. However, I'm pretty dense as far as the nuances of the English language go. Perhaps the two are actually the same?The IDF will have to resume operations in Lebanon if the expanded United Nations force being assembled does not fulfill its obligation to dismantle Hizbullah, an official in the Prime Minister's Office warned on Tuesday.
Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Saniora and Hizbullah leader Hassan Nasrallah reportedly reached a deal allowing Hizbullah to keep its weapons but refrain from exhibiting them in public. Israeli officials called the arrangement a violation of UN Security Council Resolution 1701, which passed over the weekend and was approved on Sunday by the cabinet.
Nah, who'm I trying to kid? They've wadded up the resolution and used it as toilet paper. Isn't it nice to find out that some things are predictable and constant? Trust in Hezbollah is completely misplaced...
I wonder how much longer it will be before hostilities resume?

That he will, I have no doubt. But then, any treaty or cease fire requires two rational actors that agree to abide by that treaty or cease fire.
And we don't have that. This is doomed to failure.
