Maybe the entire Middle East region can calm down now and let displaced citizens get back to their lives. The point has been made by both Hezbollah and Israel, and it's now time to close up shop and just go home...basically, to agree to disagree for the people's sake.
UNITED NATIONS Aug 11, 2006 (AP) -- The U.N. Security Council adopted a resolution Friday that calls for an end to the war between Israel and Hezbollah, and authorizes 15,000 U.N. peacekeepers to help Lebanese troops take control of south Lebanon as Israel withdraws.
The resolution, drafted by the United States and France, offers the best chance yet for peace after more than four weeks of fighting that has killed more than 800 people, destroyed Lebanon's infrastructure and inflamed tensions across the Middle East. The 15-nation council adopted it unanimously.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert endorsed the resolution late Friday, after a day of brinksmanship including a threat to expand the ground war in Lebanon. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said the Lebanese government assured her that it supported the text.
