UN Agrees On Plan to End Israel/Hezbollah War

They finally came to some kind of conclusion to this thing that should be to ISraels likeing at least.
The resolution, negotiated by the United States and France, authorized
up to 15,000 U.N. troops to be deployed to monitor a withdrawal of Israeli
troops from southern Lebanon and to help the Lebanese army enforce a
ceasefire.


I would hate to be in that UN Force because they will probably be stuck there for years. I wonder if they would be able to fight back decently if Hezbollah goes after them to push them out? Also it looks like Blair may go about legacy building by dipping his bucket into the "Peace In the Middle East Well" that Clinton tried years before. I guess that is the last hail mary pass that world leaders most throw before they leave the World Stage.

British Prime Minister Tony Blair welcomed the resolution and said
he planned to visit the Middle East soon to search for ways to bring peace
between Israelis and Palestinians.

"We must work to address the
underlying root causes of this conflict," Blair said in a statement. "We
must never lose sight of the fact that the conflict in Lebanon arose out of
the desire to exploit the continuing impasse in Palestine."
