Statement Counter to Reality

"It, I think, is also generally accepted that disarmament of Hezbollah cannot be done by force."

Kofi Anan

Praise be to the excellent Romeo Mike's (click the heading) blog for alerting me to the latest zinger from the court jester of the international community.

So, what does the UN's Secretary-General mean by that snippet of inverse-fact insight? Well:

"Iran and the Arab League don't want Hezbollah disarmed, and the confused, compliant Europeans, who are providing the lion's share of soldiers for the farcical UN 'force', have neither the will nor the inclination to have them disarmed either."

It is becoming ever more obvious that the international community have no intention of disarming or even seriously restricting Hezbollah. This multilaterial force is simply a cosmetic quick-fix.

Hezbollah should be celebrating; Israelis should be enraged.
