Following intense US pressure, the United Nations Security Council on Wednesday issued an unprecedented condemnation of Monday’s Hizbullah attacks on northern Israel.

This condemnation - slamming Hizbullah by name for “acts of hatred” - marked the first time the Security Council has ever reprimanded Hizbullah for cross-border attacks on Israel. The condemnation followed by two days a failed attempt to get a condemnation issued on Monday, the day of the attack, when Algeria came out against any mention of Hizbullah in the statement.

When asked what changed from Monday to Wednesday, one diplomatic official replied: “,” a reference to the US ambassador to the UN. Bolton lobbied vigorously for the passage of the statement.

So might I actually find myself in a position of having to say something nice about John Bolton? Well, maybe so. I think you should live giving everyone a chance, congratulating for good acts, condemning for bad ones. And this, after ALL this time, is literally about time! What took the UN so damned long to condemn a terrorist group like Hizbollah?

Not sure why I didn’t notice this earlier but better late than never eh? So, good job John, I won’t say President Bush did the right thing with a , and you have supposedly been an weetod in the past, but hey everyone deserves a break every now and then! Getting the UN to actually do something they’re supposed to do, that’s quite an achievement!
