blobak

blobak - unintended consequences of an operation, which frustrate or negate the original purpose. May also refer to the usage of aerosol chemical weapons (poison gas) under suddenly unfavorable wind conditions. Might even be stretched to include retaliation by an opposing entity or its defenders. Actually "blowback" was taken.

The UN-Resolution

Yes, this very bad nation of Lebanon, refusing so arrogantly to implement UN Resolution 1559 which requires that they exercise authority over the entire acreage of their homeland, such that none is left available for control by Hezbollah. Does this also require that the Lebanese Army immediately push all IDF forces from the South of Lebanon, so as not to allow its use by outside terrorist forces (either one)? If so, perhaps a UN force should assist in this effort - a la Korea - maybe ending in a DMZ carved out of both sides of the border?

Well, really what's the problem with this so-called Lebanon anyway? Haven't they been provided with a sterling example of un-compliance with UN-Resolutions by southern neighborly state Israel? So many UN-Resolutions on those West Bank Jewish settlements - who can keep track of it all? It all boils down to friends in high places. Friends who could create a new state out of an old religious text - and make it stick - sort of. I grew up on that old text (along with the newer one) so I see plainly where American emotions will lie for a long time to come. All the old stories are still with me - even after such a long lapse. But, also with me are the lessons of the newer text - the ones of peace and love before honor and vanity and land and wealth - the same ones now pushed aside and not observed.
