United Nations to send 15000 Human Shields to Lebanon

It becomes more obvious each day that the United Nations is in the hip pocket of terrorists and dictators. Kofi Annan has definitely shown himself to be the lap dog of Hezbollah and Hamas. To refresh the memory: in the beginning of the conflict it seemed that most were willing to tolerate Israel's right to defend itself against an act of war by kidnapping two soldiers and shooting rockets at civilians. Then the criticism against Israel began to appear. The first was the ridiculous notion that war must be fought evenly with no disproportionate force. Then came the fraudulent antics of folks like Green Helmet and the professional Wailing Woman with their willing media accomplices to sway opinion to a point where they could criticize Israel. Then came the hit on the UN outpost where proof surfaced that Hezbollah was using the UN as human shields by firing at Israel in their proximity. Next came the accusations of Israel attacking Red Cross ambulances, where we saw the fastest rusting metal and fastest healing skin.

With all of the propoganda being swallowed hook, line and sinker around the world even the Bush administration was suckered into joining UN talks of enforcing a cease-fire. The UN unanimously passed a resolution for a cease-fire. The Lebeneze government was to disarm Hezbollah and then Israel was to withdraw, and both sides were to cease hostilities. Everybody agreed to it. The ink was not even dry when the Lebaneze government reneged on their word to disarm Hezbollah. Hezbollah starting rearming and regrouping like they do in every cease-fire.

Now we see the Great United Nations at its finest. The great hope of the world is now doing WORSE THAN NOTHING. In this Associated Press story Kofi is making it very clear that the UN forces will NOT be disarming Hezbollah.

But 13 days after Israel and Hezbollah agreed to a ceasefire, questions remained about how to enforce the vague truce and prevent the area from exploding again. It was unclear how the United Nations would meet Israel's demand to prevent Hezbollah from rearming.

U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan stressed Friday it was not the peacekeepers' task to strip the guerrillas of their weapons, saying that was an issue for Lebanon's government and "cannot be done by force."

"The troops are not going there to disarm Hezbollah. Let's be clear about that," he said.

So he is simply throwing it back at the Lebaneze government. So the question remains why is the UN even sending in the 15000 troops. What exactly will they do? What can they do? The answer is nothing. In fact they can do worse than nothing. When Hezbollah can no longer sit still and refrain from lobbing rockets into the civilian population of Israel, the powder keg will go off again. By that time Syria and Iran will have successfully restocked Hezbollah with weapons and probably more fighters. When Israel continues its attack, Hezbollah will now have 15,000 more UN Human Shields to use. The odds of UN "peacekeepers" being killed in each strike by Israel will go up exponentially. So good job, UN. You have successfully made things worse. The world body, including the Bush administration, should have kept out of this conflict and let Israel do what needed to be done. By rooting out Hezbollah in southern Lebanon it would make Israel safer, and Lebanon and the region more stable. Sometimes with entities like Hezbollah, war is the only answer. The UN and the world body do not have the guts to utilize that answer.
