Who pray tell is going to disarm Hezbollah? The mandate doesn't call for it the last I heard. The Lebanese army isn't going to do it either.

This is just one more instance of the U.N. sticking it's long nose and blind eyes into a situation for which it hasn't clue one.

Do you actually see the French disarming Hezbollah? Really?

No, I think we will play a role in disarming Hizbollah by destroying Assad. That's my opinion. And I think the IDF will finish Hizbollah, and they and the rest of the world will have gone past the point of proving how futile the effort to use diplomacy was. Being obstinate, Hizbollah will push even the French to see that force is the only way out of the problem Iran and Syria released.

This a trap for Syria as I see it.

You ask a very good question, DoughtyOne. You asked, "Who pray tell is going to disarm Hezbollah?" I have two questions. First, can a terrorist organization such as Hezbollah ever be completely disarmed? Also, what is it that Israel could have done to "completely disarm" Hezbollah throughout Lebanon with regards to this current dilemma?

Actually, I have a third question, "what is it, that Israel could have done in this situation, that would have brought about applause rather than the condemnation they are receiving from some of our FRiends?

The whole idea of the Lebanese army going in to disarm the Islamic Cultists is hysterical.

Since the Leb army is simply the second string to Hezbollah.

And UNIFIL is the third string.

Diplomats and gov leaders think we are stupid. This is a ruse to "stop the violence" on TV, so their constituents won't be uncomfortable and disturbed by icky war.

And they will be hailed as making "peace" and winning good press from the Hezzie's propaganda arms.
