French peacekeepers of UNIFIL stand guard in a street in the city of Tyre, one day after an Israel air strike targeted the southern Lebanese village of Qana. Shock and fury at an Israeli air strike that killed 52 Lebanese civilians, mostly sleeping children, rippled across the world from the United Nations to the streets of Arab capitals.(AFP/Nicolas Asfouri)

Call out the French Foreign Legion. They are the ONLY French outfit that can do the job.

PARIS - The French general who leads the U.N. peacekeeping force in Lebanon said Monday he wants reinforcements quickly, warning that even one "stray act" could unravel a diplomatic effort to halt the fighting between Israel and HezbollahApparently Hez-Ebola has already fired some rockets at Israeli forces in Southern Lebanon.
BTW- DO these UN peacekeepers want some bodyguards too??

What ever they do, they had better hurry - the Hezbos are firing rockets now but not crossing into Israel, stopping just short of the border.

U.N. peacekeepers need troops
Haven't we been down this road before? The 4 U.N. peacekeepers who were killed 3 weeks ago, including the Canadian, were acting as human shields for Hizbollah's "troops".
Our so-called "leaders" keep learning nothing from history .

"We were very saddened to see villages destroyed, columns of refugees, the region totally devastated. Of course, it breaks your heart," he said. "Despite it all, we kept our flag flying high." Yes, something to be quite proud of - being totally irrelevant and ineffective.
