You've hit on a fundamental problem. You're a neandrathal. Yeah.. the fundamental problem is that you've taken to using a word you can't even spell properly.. en.wikipedia.org Do you remember how the US was once going to bring Sadr to justice and disarm his militia? The US passed that one off to Iraq because the US couldn't do it. Ultimately, it's Iraqi responsibility. MAS was defeated in Najaf, and Al-Sistani put him under "house arrest". And he's a definite thorn in their side and a proxy of Ahmadinejad and the IRGC, just as Hizbullah is in Lebanon. Israel can't disarm Hezbollah and they're going to pass that off to the UN. No.. fool.. IT IS LEBANON that can't disarm Hizbullah, which was created by, armed, and motivated to be a Syrian/Iranian proxy militia. You need to figure out that Hezbollah is more than a terrorist group. I know EXACTLY what Hizbullah is.... Hizbullah is the FINAL REMNANT of Syrian occupation of Lebanon, and as such, demonstrably reveals that it's primary loyalty is NOT to the Lebanese government, but to the interests of Syria and Iran. And since the UN failed to act to enforce their resolution (1559), it has fallen to Israel to defend itself against this aggressive group that chooses to carry out the foreign policy interests of Syria/Iran, instead of Lebanon. Thus, since Iran and Syria have chosen to reignite the civil war in Lebanon, by facilitating Hizbullah's defiance of Lebanon's sovereignty, it MUST BE THE UN that acts to restore that sovereignty. Lebanon cannot fight the combined resources of Syria and Iran. The US can't "win" in Iraq, they passed that off to the Iraqis. It MUST BE the Iraqis who decide whether they want to live together, or become pawns to the interests of Iran and Syria and remain forever divided and destabilized. The choice is there to make. The opportunity theirs to take. All the US can do is ensure they have that ability to choose. And the fact that 63% of Iraqis exercised their democratic rights to vote means that there IS progress. But that progress can be easily be derailed if Iraqis are not willing to strive and fight against those neighboring powers who would seek to dominate and destabilize them. Hawk
