#1 What a hilarious graphic. I'm laughing so hard, I can't even concentrate on this article. Come to think of it, I don't need to read the article. The graphic sums it up.

#2 Why exactly was a truce the anticipated result when, in the list of participants in the conference, the principals involved in the conflict were not even present?

Natter, natter, natter, indeed.

#3 "Please, Dr. Rice, you're being unreasonable. What's wrong with the status quo? I wanna go home and say the problem was "solved" in one day!"

As far as I'm concerned, she the biggest balls there! The rest have peppercorns. Why are they so afraid of Hezballah?

#4 "Why are they so afraid of Hezballah?"

gorb,

I answered this a while back. The answer is not what you think it is. Read #15 on this link.

#5 "Nonetheless, it seems that Annan's plan did not appeal to influential western participants."

Gee...I wonder why? Perhaps it's that whole prisoner swap thingy rather then the unconditional release of the Israeli soldiers. Or maybe it's Hizbullah's refusal to disarm under UN#1559? Those damn "western participants" sure are belligerent!
