About that International Peace Keeping Force which will be Going to Lebanon… It’s a Joke!


Wafting about the airwaves, this past weekend, was talk about a multi-national force to be inserted into southern Lebanon between Israel and Hizbollah, (including the Syrian and Iranian troops as well).

First, I don’t like the idea. I want to see Israel given the “go ahead” to clean out Lebanon. Else wise, they will simply have to do it all again and again and again.

But the Euro-weenies, and the UN, and the Left, all over the world, is so upset over the drubbing the terrorists are taking, that a pitiful wail has gone up begging for mercy for the terrorists. On one side is the Left wing of the world, the UN, the brother terrorist nations, the socialist nations, the communist nations, nations with no working governments, the anti-war crowd, and sundry other kook organizations, including the Mainstream Media. On the other side are the Conservatives, Israel, and if one believes the Scriptures, God.

The Bush Administration has about used up its diplomatic “foot-dragging” time and the moment to “get off the pot” has nearly arrived.

Now… I’d like to be able to say that I feel that my government will “do the right thing” and come out, publicly, in full support of Israel and commit troops, and war fighting materiel, to Israel to assist her in the fight.

As I said… I WISH I could. But, I can’t.

I fully expect the Administration to “go through the motions” and finally get behind some sort of “cease fire” agreement, which will do nothing toward solving the problem… at all.

I expect we will soon be told there will be an international force sent to Lebanon to insure the “cease fire” doesn’t break down. It would be funny, if it were not so serious.
So… who’re we going to send, huh? The UN? Oh, come on, now! NATO? You have to be kidding! Both of these organizations are filled, to running over, with Israel haters and ant-Semites. No, neither of them will do.

If, and I say, IF, we have to send a “so-called” peace keeping military force then it should be a force headed up by a Jewish-American General Officer and made up of troops from the US, Australia, Great Britain and Canada (well, Canada is a "maybe"!) That is, if the international community actually wants a “serious” attempt at stopping Hizbollah. If not … then send in the UN, or NATO, and the whole festering boil will continue to plague the region for a few more decades.

Hey, I’m biased! I actually want to see Israel given half a chance here!

Now, if the international community is not supportive of such a force, then the US should give Israel the nod to “clean it out” then, back up, and let the IDF do the job.

I am not so naive as to believe that this is going to actually settle anything. This battle has raged since the days of Abraham, Isaac and Ishmael. It isn’t over yet… not by a long shot.

And here’s another heads-up for you. We can send all the Secretaries of State, we want, to that part of the world, to negotiate a “lasting peace”… and it will not happen! This is a family fight. These are Half Brothers fighting over a birthright and a perceived “injustice” done one party by God himself! Now tell me… do you really think we are going to actually affect the outcome in this mess??? Hardly.

So, all we can do is provide Israel the moral support, and the munitions she needs, to hold her own against her blood relatives as the brawl continues.

Anything else is just “blowing in the wind”.

On the other hand, if the US really wants to do something helpful, to itself, and the remainder of the free world, it will cut off US funding of the UN and kick the UN out of the United States.

In the meantime, I won’t hold my breath!

  1. Israel is more than capable of taking out those bed sheet wearing savages on thier own, if they really need help they will ask for it.

  2. AGREED! Unfortunately, it appears the international community is going to force it on them. Of course, that means the conflict will just continue.
