Let’s check up on our UN peacekeeping friends and see what they are up to..
A Spanish U.N. peacekeeper shakes the hand of a Lebanese Hezbollah supporter wearing a yellow T-shirt and carrying a Hezbollah flag as he marches in the southern village of Kfar Kila, Lebanon, Thursday, Sept. 21, 2006, on his way to attend the massive victory rally that will take place in Beirut Friday afternoon. Hundreds of Hezbollah supporters from across southern Lebanon began marching on foot toward Beirut for a major rally planned Friday to showcase the group’s insistence it won’t disarm.

I think this photo speaks for itself.
Update: Come to think of it, it puts this photo into a whole new perspective:

Oh this soldiers are not from my country, but still a feal bad when I see that!
ON TV this morning, they showed 100s of Hizballah supporters marching along the border fence with the same yellow shirts and flags, hurling stones across the fence at Israeli patrol Hummers, while UN cars passed by nonchalantly.

I feel sorry for the European troops given over to any UN Mission. Koffi, may his testicles be infested with the fleas of a thousand camels, puts these guys in harms way without the ability to fight back. We’ve seen it time and again. They are forced to play nice because that guy shaking his hand may very well come back to slit his throat and the poor Spaniard would have no recourse.
UN ‘Peacekeeping’ missions with no Chapter 7 powers is just sending your men and women out to die. Of course I wouldn’t expect an appeaser like Koffi, may fires of hell burn his groin, to understand.
Ein gutes Zeichen?
Währenddessen sich meine ehemaligen Kameraden auf dem Weg in das östliche Mittelmeer befinden, wehen die Flaggen der UN und der Hisbollah nebeneinander und man reicht sich freundschaftlich die Hände.
Ein gutes Zeichen?

It is a Shame that this is going on these guys are there to disarm the hezbo’s and they are making nice with them. This is unacceptable my country poors Billions of Dollars and the backbone into the u.n and they respond but acting like isreal and the U.S are the bad guys. I am thinking the world would be better off with a new orginization. one that acts when it says it will and doesn’t continue to pass multiple meaningless resolutions. It time we make a stand against these murders and thugs who hide behind islam in name only. We could show them a real holy war and wipe them from the map. Yet we don’t What if they had the weapons the U.S and Isreal have would they give a damn about Human rights, civilian deaths? I am tired of us being labled as the bad guys. Are so called allies need a wake up call.May Isreal find Strength in its brave people

I think it’s about time that someone tells those UN soldiers why they’re in Lebanon & who Hezbollah is – a watch dog is useless if he’s in friendly terms with the burglars..
Heimo from Germany
