#1 Stick by your guns, Israel - literally. Adding new enemies to the original set is something only a UN fuckwit could consider reasonable. Give Malloch-Brown and His Boss a public lashing - and laugh at them for their idiocy. Do it very publicly, and do it often.

#3 It is inconceivable. But don't worry. No one's giving them a ride over. By the time they paddle across they'll be to old to walk anyway.

#4 In a Bizarro World where the UN is actually useful, it would make sense to have the peacekeeping forces come from nations friendly or at least neutral to Israel. In this world, it probably doesn't matter since they are going to get their asses bombed by Israeli counter-strikes as they stand around in their blue helmets while the Hezbies launch the inevitable missiles. If they were not mad at the Jews before, they will be afterwards.

#5 As known to me, the nations are to be comprised of states currently at de facto risk of national destabilization from Commie/Maoist-suppor Radical Islamist-Terror groups, while FOX > FRANCE now only wants to send 200 specialists, NOT 000's or even several 00's.

#6 "We're not going to be on Israeli territory," Foreign Minister Syed Hamid Albar said.

Right on cue, the spudhead spews the expected fudge.

#7 The Israeli envoy to the UN, Danny Gillerman, said that it would be "difficult if not inconceivable" to accept nations who do not recognize Israel's right to exist and who have no diplomatic relations with Israel as part of a UN force in southern Lebanon.

Only if you're not Muslim.

#8 This makes sense once you realize that the only purpose of the UN force is to shield Hezbollah from Israeli retaliation.

#9 A piece of history - while in Bosnia:

IINN WORLD NEWS
MALAYSIA

Aug. 23 Malaysia's Defense Minister Najib Tun Razak said Tuesday the burning of Croation Catholic cross recently by two Malaysian U.N. peacekeepers stationed in Bosnia-Herzegovina was unintentional. The two U.N. soldiers burned the Catholic cross between July 15 and 20 on a hillside near Bosnian Croat-controlled Kiseljak, about 15 miles (25 km)
northwest of the Bosnian capital Sarajevo. The incident was made know to U.N. officials in Sarajevo Aug. 12. Najib confirmed the incident took place but said it was an isolated move by the two soldiers who did not have the intent to insult any religion. The two Christian Malaysian soldiers of the Malbatt Command replaced the 3-yard cross Friday on the
hillside near Citonje.

#10 On the other hand, if I were to play devil's advocate, let them do it and expose the peacekeeper's true intentions. Of course, one would have to have high confidence in their ability to monitor happenings on the ground in Lebanon and know when to pull the plug if the unthinkable happened and they were actually aiding Hezb'Allah. :-}
