go around bombing and shooting up the place. Anybody who wants to extrapolate phrases like peace and security to mean balls to the wall military action is deluding themselves. As I stated UNIFIL does lots of things. As I have also stated UNIFIL in their reports to the Secretary General, and he makes public, openly state things they are working on where they have not achieved the goals. Also as I have said you won't find such admissions from Israel about their violations of 1701 month after month, year after year. In that respect there is no difference between Hezbollah and Israel. But in the end as I also said if you want a UNIFIL that carries out termination actions militarily for 1701 violations then tell me how many Israeli deaths, downed jets and drones etc. are acceptable to you since these violations and others by Israel have gone on for years. Or is it supposed to be one party to a conflict is to be attacked for violations while the other party is immune?
