The U.N. Again
I have long wondered if there was even a scant use for the United Nations. Certainly this has been a difficult search, but I finally have one. With Israel needing time to finally finish a war in an era when even the U.S. fails to pursue one to a logical conclusion, we are using the U.N. perfectly. By trying to construct a way to bring about a "cease fire" or an end to "hostilities", we are working with the French of all people to develop a Security Council resolution which can pass. This is perfect in terms of assuring that Israel gets all the time it needs. Then if they finally do get one sufficiently wishy-washy for the French, we can all be certain that it will not produce the desired result if it is acted upon at all. Perfect.
