The majority is not always right. I would agree we have a unique relationship with Israel. We have voted for some things that I would not agree with and would go with the rest of the world. But when you say 13-1 you have to look who is voting. Do you expect China and Russia to vote with US? Do you expect France which has very close ties with the Arab world to vote with US? Would you expect some very antisemitic European countries to vote with Israel?
And really we need not get into UN resolutions getting voted for or against... when the UN votes to remove arms from Hezbollah and then no one except the US and Britian bring up this resolution??? And now Lebanon says Hezbollah will not be forced to disarm... Unbelievable.
Round 1 is over. Nothing has been solved. Israel will wait until more rockets are fired in the future, point back to this cease-fire and UN troops inability to stop an Iranian puppet, use this as lessoned learned and go in much more forcefully. Lebanon's puppet government has set up more innocent people for slaughter to blame on Israel. The extremists will not be able to hold back... There is no country within a country crap anymore.
How was the current situation started? Hezbollah came across the border and did what? ANd for what purpose? The timing was....
Israel now knows many more rockets await as Iran rearms Hezbollah and plan for a far more destructive encounter in the future. Thats just wonderful news for all. You just know this is exactly what is happening. Good news for Iran. For southern Lebanon... sadly, dead people dont complain. I fear next time you will not see TV coverage of people in Southern Lebanon streaming North trying to uncover their dead relatives bodies before they leave. They wont complain just like the 30,000 people that were slaughtered in one very large quick massacre in Hama Syria carried out by the elder Assad.
Ever heard of this massacre? Arab v. Arab. You say Iraq considers US soldiers Jews while Shia slaughters Sunni and vice versa in much larger numbers than have occurred in Lebanon. They want us out so one of the two groups can take over and then turn on the Kurds. Wonderful.
