Let me see if I have this right
Six years ago the U.N. passed something called Resolution 1559 that called for Hezbollah to disarm, leave the area next to Israel, and defer to a "peace keeping" force put there 28 years ago by the U.N. Well, they did not disarm, did not leave, did not hesitate to invade Israel, and kidnapped the Israel soldiers and killed others. The response by Israel was "excessive", disproportional, caused the expected civilian casualties, and is now drawing the howls of cease-fire from nearly all countries. So, what is the solution to this "crisis"? Go back to the U.N. for another but differently numbered resolution. Give me a break.
