The U.N. is out of touch

The United Nations Human Rights commissioner Louise Arbour has issued a strong message to both the Hezbollah and Israel warning them of the wanton violence against civilians in their present engagement. The United Nations needs to get their head out of their proverbial butt and look at the true cause of all the civilian causalities, the Hezbollah. They are the main perpetrators in this field as they are standing in highly populated areas and shooting rockets into Israel.

In a Reuter’s news article this morning, it cited the residents of South Lebanon are angered by the Hezbollah’s actions of hiding within crowded cities. As one citizen stated, "We are all for resistance against Israel but they have no right to fire their rockets and then come and hide between our houses," shouted Nazih Sliqa, a resident of Fardees, his face florid with anger and grief.”

The Hezbollah make it a practice of standing among the crowds and firing their rockets, as the world could plainly see yesterday on any of the news television channels as we all watched the rockets exploding from the cities. How can the U.N. commissioner see any liabilities towards Israel in their actions responding to the attacks. If the population is going to openly support a terrorist organization as the Hezbollah then they must be prepared for the outcome of their actions.

The present conditions of the world never cease to amaze me and this only adds more credence to that statement. The United Nations needs to do many things to begin functioning, as a body of trust within the world and this is not one of them. Their peacekeepers in Africa have been under constant investigations for the raping of hundreds of female children and this is the avenue they take. Me thinks thou doth protest too much.
