Let Them Have Czechoslovakia, While You’re At It
It pains me to write this, but I have to wonder if all those Israelis (and Lebanese, too) died in vain:
A compromise agreement now being hammered out between Hezbollah and the Lebanese government would allow the Shi’ite guerillas to keep hidden weapons in south Lebanon, the London-based Al-Hayat newspaper reported on Tuesday.
While Hezbollah would need to keep the weapons it possesses south of the Litani River hidden, an agreement for areas north of the river would be “left to a long term solution,” the paper reported.
If the proposed compromise is accepted Tuesday by the Lebanese government, it would violate the terms of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1701 ending the war in Lebanon. The resolution rules that the Lebanese army and UNIFIL may be the only armed forces in the territory between the Litani River south to the Israeli border.
If they’re hidden, they’re not lethal? What part of “disarmed” don’t they get?
Everyone–everyone–knew this was coming. Hezbollah, Syria, Iran know for certain what the rest of us won’t acknowledge: they can lie, cheat, and steal their way to any outcome they like. No one has the stomach to stop them.
I wonder how Ahmad…Ahmaidmarian…Ahearyaknockin…Lenny Bruce is spinning this over at this blog?
