| UN envoy: Mideast 'may see full-scale war' |
| 2007-06-12 |
| UN envoy Terje Roed-Larsen has warned that the Middle East could see full-scale war. He said a fresh effort was needed to contain the current violence, or energetic diplomacy to try to bring peace. I prefer lethargic diplomacy. It's what I've become accustomed to. "The picture which emerges is very dark, and apparently getting darker," he said. I'd say the CRT is shot. Time to move to a flat panel job. "So there are reasons for real concerns in the international community." Why? Does he think the muzzies will win? Roed-Larsen, the current UN envoy for Lebanon-Syria issues who for many years was the top UN Mideast envoy, said "the geopolitical landscape of the Middle East has changed fundamentally over a few years. A few years ago, as it had been over many, many decades, the centre of gravity for all the conflicts were the Israeli-Arab conflicts. Now, there seems sic to be four epicentres of conflict in the region with their own dynamics, the Iraqi issues, the Iranian issues, the Syrian-Lebanese issues, and of course the heart of hearts, the How about the Kurdish issue, the Chechen issue, the Kosovo issue, the Darfur issue, the Afghan issue, the Paki issue, the Bangla issue, the Indo issue. Hey, maybe this issue really isn't limited to the Middle East! |

| #9 The UN has watched idly as Hezbollah has rearmed and hardened rocket sites. They are complicit in any war that might result in the mideast. |

| #7 UN envoy: Mideast 'may see full-scale war' Who would know better than those who have been fomenting it for the past several decades. A full scale, total war is needed to quickly break the power of the Islamofascist death cults. Word, Darth. |

| #6 Disagree, time is very much on our side. The other side can't win, given than, it's still damn possible we'll lose 10 millions pussy-footing our way to Babylon. |

| #4 A full scale, total war is needed to quickly break the power of the Islamofascist death cults. Trade and contact with the west can do the same job, it just takes a lot of time. Time, I don't think our western leaders will give us. Damn surrender monkeys. |
