UNIFIL is not going to get 1500 more troop, let alone 15,000 end strength. Even France, who is in it to recapture some of its lost stature, will only pony up 400 right now. The ceasefire is just a temporary R&R for both sides. When it breakdown and the IDF goes in hot again, they wont be nearly as *nice*.

The UN is rapidly welshing on what was agreed to in 1701. While I dearly love the concepts on which is was founded, the UN needs to execute much more effectively if it is ever going to come close to meeting its goals and vision.
