And what about United Nations Resolution 1559, which calls for the disarmament of Hezbollah, which on the one hand bills itself as a normal political party, while at the same time maintaining its own 20,000-troop militia in southern Lebanon, near the border with Israel? "This is an internal Lebanese matter. Hezbollah is a movement to resist Israeli occupiers. A disarmament by force would be completely inconceivable." But isn't it also inconceivable that the Hezbollah forces continue to operate autonomously as a quasi second Lebanese army? "That's something we will negotiate."

Well,who really thought it would become a bit more quiet after the Cedar Revolution in the Middle East?
