UN chief calls for protection for civilians in Lebanon
2007-05-22
"No hitting."
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon on Monday called on all sides in Lebanon to protect civilians. In a statement released by his spokesperson, Ban said he is gravely concerned about the fighting in the last two days between Fatah el-Islam gunmen and the Lebanese army.

"The actions of Fatah al-Islam are an attack on Lebanon's stability and sovereignty," the UN chief said. He welcomed the "united stand taken by Palestinian factions in Lebanon denouncing these attacks on the Lebanese army" and called on all sides to do their utmost to protect innocent civilians.

Ban also strongly condemned Sunday's terrorist bombing in Beirut, and urged the Lebanese "to unite in the face of threats to their stability and security."

#7  Once JUST ONCE! I would like them to call for the end of attacks on ISRAELI citizens, military, children, businesses, holy sites, hospitals, bunnies or residents. But I think I will be long gone from this world before that ever happens.

#6  ya gotta believe, ship!

Seriously this may be just the right size opponent for the Lebs, just big enough to challenge them and make them learn, and small enough to handle. Good training before they take on Hezb (if they ever do). Syrians may have made a mistake unleashing FI.

Got that diplospeak down pat,eh ? No need to be concerned, the Leb Army has opened fire with artillery and will have the bunch of ruffian boys reduced to small gobs of goo in a coupla more days. This solution will provide great relief to your already overtaxed brain.
