annan agrees.

If anything the resoultion still needs follow-up as admitted in my non-biased link...Resolution 1701 is NOT Iron clad, NOT specific in established wording...So in other words, final details are not fully set, nor committed, but to be addressed...what we DO know is that there are 5 basic criteria and one of which is the disarmament of hezbollah including international arms embargo...and we DO know Israel's position on the response in the face of such infringement...

 

unilateral enforcement of UN resolutions doesn't accomplish much. as the iraq fiasco shows us.

 

Do you think Annan can stop arms to Hezbollah?

 

I have actually read the resolution you are referencing and there is nothing in it that gives Israel the right to do anything of the sort. Feel free to read it yourself since you obviously haven't. You're simply taking a quote from an Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman and pawning it off as what is in the resolution. That's pretty lazy and actually rather shameless on your part. I suggest you have a little more integrity in your future responses and perhaps you might want to educate yourself on the nature of wikipedia.

 

Duplicate post #42 for response here...

 

Yeah that'll be +1 in the ignore column, thanks. What a waste of time.

 

does it matter?

so if annan cannot stop the israelis,...

 

you have to be certified neutral first before you can add to wikipedia?

and you know what a disclaimer is right?

Who takes Roxan seriously, seriously?

On the side note, who takes all Israel's words as thuth?

 

You're absolutely correct that UNSC 1701 isn't iron clad on the wording regarding the disarmament of Hezbollah.

What that's saying is that it is important to have no weapons without the consent of the Lebanese government. Technically that could mean that Hezbollah could keep their weapons with the consent of the Lebanese government and since it never says "require" it isn't a requirement of the cease fire that Hezbollah disarms.

What it does say specifically is:

I don't see how Israel's attack on Baalbak couldn't be seen as violating UNSC 1701.

 

About as much of a chance as he has of stopping arms to Israel.

Really, does anyone think there is any way to stop Hezbollah from rearming?

Actually, I bet that now...Hezbelloh will get more arms then ever.

 

That article is put in place under certain other conditions about when peacekeepers can or can not fire their weapons etc.

But aside from that, your argument has zero to do with Israel breaking the cease-fire.

Pointing out what has or what has not happened regarding the UN doesn't have a thing to do with Israel showing proof justifying their violation of the cease-fire.

 

and the US can also speed up shipments of cluster bombs to israel to use in civilian areas in clear violation of international law.

 

You really think Isreal was trying to stop an arms shipment?

 

Yes, it helps to know some history, glynch. Lebanon was not part of Syria "until about 100 years ago," because what is now Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire.

From Wikipedia:

Syria was part of the Ottoman Empire from the 16th through 20th centuries, and found itself largely apart from, and ignored by, world affairs.

After World War I, the Ottoman Empire was dissolved, and in 1922 the League of Nations split the dominion of the former Syria between two countries: the United Kingdom received Transjordan and Palestine, and France received what was to become modern-day Syria and Lebanon.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syria_(Roman_province)#Early_Christian_and_Islamic_history

Lebanon was merely a part of a larger province of the Ottoman Empire, of which the area of modern Syria was also a part. Sorry, glynch, but your position doesn't hold water. At all.



Keep D&D Civil.

 

Excellent point Deckard. Neither Syria or Lebanon (as we know them) existed prior to WWI and both like Iraq, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia were created by the Allies following the defeat of the Ottomans in WWI.

 

Kuwait really belongs to iraq. but again, iraq was also part of the ottomon empier. hence was kuwait.
