LOL...misleading title. I thought they wanted UN TROOPS or something, which would be hysterically funny.

If they want the terminally anti-Semitic UN to make a RESOLUTION condemning Israeli action against Hamas...they might get one, but they should understand that a UN resolution isn't as terrorist-enabling as it was a couple of years ago.

UN resolutions don't make the perfect excuses to justify crimes against humanity that they once did. THAT battle President Bush HAS won hands down against teh irrelevant UN. (**SNICKER**) Terri=orists, Khofi the terrorist enabler....meet Wall.

It's a crying shame that the UN is too busy with Iraq to pay any notice.

With the UN clearly irrelevant, Arafat will no longer have anyone to run crying to for help. Looks like he's on his own...see how long he lasts.

In fact the do. Such outside forces work in the Pallie's favor. Instead of dealing directly with Israel they deal with the UN and kick up a lot of dust. Plus Pallie guerilla operations cannot be detected or stopped by UN peacekeepers but Israeli military operations can.
