well, now we are getting somewhere

the U.N. Security Council has agreed upon, and drafted a resolution calling for a full cessation of violence between Israel and Hezbollah.

see it here, and here.

wow!

what a breakthrough!

Do any of those phreakin idiots believe, for 1 second, that the product of damn near a month of their time is going to produce any sort of result short of a few headlines? The principal players in this rerun of reruns were not involved in these complex negotiations, and do not appear to give much of a damn, (but it is important to see thqt the U.S. and France agree....)

This illustrates the true function of the U.N., a place for academics to argue about who (or whom) is righter, and how the world ought to be, with little or no view to how it is, or what is really happening. Watching the drama that is the U.N. is something that is roughly akin to a Cheech and Chong movie, except these people get paid a whole lot more, and they never, ever seem to run out of, or come down from whatever it is that they are on.

That's just my opinion.

I could be wrong.


update 1: (Aug 11, 2006)

the Security Council has adopted a resolution that will put 15000 U.N. troops into Lebanon to ensure the peace. The national makeup of this force has not yet been announced, and I certainly hope that they are more effective at this mission than the U.N. observers already in place were. (yup, they are firing rockets at Israel. I'll have a turkey club and chips....)
