UN Resolution Draft...

I wonder would this draft ever see the light?
And why would I sincersly want it to see the light?

Maybe, i just want the death toll to end. maybe I wish for the those small left intact parts of Lebanon to remain. Maybe, I am just tired. And, maybe, just maybe I am scared...
I grew up in a house that constantly talked about 1948 Palestine. That following the first draft, which Palestians refused, a second... much worst draft was formulated. A draft we still, all over the Arab world pay for with blood, effort and money. A draft which offered Palestine to a new breed of people, a non-Arab breed to live and rule over Palestine.

I know it is just foolish to compare, but i can not help fear. Yeaterday, listening to Jea Jea, it all came back to me. He said, we should accept this resolution, a following one can be worse.

But, deep inside my heart, I know I can never find the logic of the draft.

How can I accept that Lebanon faces an "embargo" on weapon entry except to the Army? I know this should be the case, but the choice of words... AN EMBARO... this is a word used in the face of antagonizing forces, when in all this sherade has Lebanon become an become an aggressor?

How can I accept to - and I am picking here form Associated Press -

"An Israeli spokesman told the BBC his government could be prepared to pull all its forces out of Lebanon once the resolution was passed and when Israel had cleared what he called "the last remaining Hezbollah strongholds". He said Israel would then monitor the south of Lebanon from behind its own border and reserve the right to use air strikes and occasional ground incursions".

This is the comment on the draft... where does that leave Lebanon? A country naked, with no weapons, whose small territory - both arial and ground - constantly invaded.

Well... maybe it is just ... the rule of the strong ...
