The UN needs to act and act swiftly. With what will they act? They have no forces other than what their membership provides them... And secondly, have you ever personally tried to intervene between two pitbulls deadset on ripping each other's throats out? The UN needs to sit back and wait for one, or both side(s) to get to the point of acknowledging that peace is preferable to war. Hawk

The Americans also bar reporters from war zones. You know, the PA has barred Israeli reporters from its territories for years, and censors all reports coming out. The Italian reporter who got the tape of the lynching in Ramallah in 2000 (remember the guy with bloody hands?) had to run for his life, and his company wrote a sniveling letter to Arafat promising to cooperate with the program in future, which the PA newspaper published. That's why you've seen relatively few pictures of PA gunmen shooting in this intifada, though they are a very common feature of it. The PA also prevented any pictures of the large pro-bin Laden rallies from getting out last September. Yet nobody in the West gives the PA any grief for this. Nor Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Iraq or Egypt either, whose press coverage is just as restricted.
