1. DUH !!!
malcolm   (10.27.06)
The US gave Israel a window of opportunity to inflict heavy damages on Hizbollah. Instead, Livni caved to the lying French. Olmert signed off on the lie and then sent soldiers to their deaths without food or water. No one had or has any intention of disarming Hizbollah. In fact their UNIFIL's presence is for the sole purpose of helping Hizbollah. Olmert & Livni are traitors.

6. Hizbullah and Israel
Faisal ,   India   (10.27.06)
Hizbullah are not a big problem for Israel and Israel can teach Hizbullah too many good lessons any time . Hizbullah dont know the power of IDF . The best army in ME , the most powerful Airforce , navy , 300 + nukes . Come on Hizbullah is not a big thread to Israel. Stop making Hizbullah a biggest threat , A militia group of some thousands and with no tanks , Air Force and navy .. and who have just some 14,000 unguided Missiles and some hundred anti tank missiles. Why Israel wants to make Hizbullah a biggest threat .
7. Cm'on, Mr. Ivanov - speak the truth
The Raccoon   (10.27.06)
UNIFIL are Hizballah auxiliaries, of course they won't disarm Hizballah! I am still shocked that we have reached such a horrible new low - our own government is unwilling to win our wars and freely allows the rearmament of an enemy sworn to genocide us. Let me give you a big fat hint, people - the attitudes of Europeans regarding Jews have changed little in the past 100 years. To them, Israel is a bunch of uppity kikes who don't know their place... and we all know what Europeans are traditionally doing to uppity kikes like us, yes? Another hint - if we're all dead by tomorrow, there'll be a lot of relieved Europeans and very few (crocodile) tears. In a week they'll start looking for excuses as for why another 6 million dead Jews is not a bad thing. In a month they'll be pondering why it's a good thing. And in a year, the only memory that will remain of us will be the fond one of uppity kikes getting what they deserved. WAKE UP!!!
8. SHOCKERRRRRRRRRRR!

9. DISARM UNDER RESOLUTION 1701??
Harry ,   Kansas   (10.27.06)
They want Hezbollah disarmed under resolution 1701?? When the hell is Israel gana abide by the rest of the resolutions that have been passed since their ILLEGAL INVASION IN THE 1970s!! The word HYPOCRCY doesnt exist for people other than the religion of Islam. And ofcourse UNFIL wont disarm Hezbollah. After watching Hezbollah destroy the so called "invincible army" as if they are dumb enough to bother trying!!

12. ruskis and tgerrorism
v. n.y. ,   usa   (10.27.06)
what a surprise. did anyone even hope that the ruskies would be optimistic about disarming the terrorists? guess not. too much money in it for this scum of a kgb nation. i wonder how they feel about disarming the muslim chechens on their land. may putin suffer at the hands of chechen rebels the same fate israel suffers at the hand of hizbullah. i recommend tons of chechen activity in russia so that putin wake up to the disaster he's encouraging and promoting. russia would sell their mother for money and is never to be trusted. guess when you profit in the terrorism business, you do all that is possible to say you can't curb it. inaction speaks volumes about russia and its true motives/interests. but, then again, i am not sayong anything new here. we are on to you lavarov.
13. UNIFIL
Brod ,   USA   (10.27.06)
If UNIFIL has no balls to disarm a terrorist organization in Lebanon, then it is useless and meaningless. If they are smart and resolute, all they have to do is command the terrorists to surrender all their weaponry to the UNIFIL. so that UNIFIL can destroy the Katyushas. If Hizbullah does not comply, UNIFIL should set up an effective strategy to round them up and confiscate their weapons.
14. russia prefers role of obstructionist to great power status
dante ,   uk   (10.27.06)
russia is a great power, but it does not act like one. rather than play a constructive role, it continues to refine an infantile policy of taking any direction, no matter how self-defeating, that is anti-American. of course, it disguises this policy, but its conduct could not be more clear. the result will be a chaotic world for which russia will ultimately pay a heavy price. how long do the russians think that they can ride the tiger's back and not be eaten?
15. GASPPP!!! NOOOOHHHH!!!
stude ham ,   outremont, canada   (10.27.06)
are the russians selling the bollies arms??? yup! and it's via the iran-syria mule trail! just to make it seem untraceable.
16. what surprising news! I'm speechless!
Nora ,   Israel   (10.27.06)
That man must be super intelligent to have figured that out! This is exactly why Israel, who got duped into agreeing to this worthless ceasefire, will at least continue with the flyovers. Its about the only left that we can do. But maybe if we asked Hizbollah nicely, they'll agree to disarm...(sarc)
17.  just let them try to :)
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.27.06)
18. how the hell hizbullah wil ldisarm while
fadi ,   lebanon   (10.27.06)
israel is still : 1. Occupying lebanese land in shebaa farms 2. daily sea, land and air aggressions 3. Holding leanese civilains as prisoners since more than 20 years 4. sabotage operations and killing of lebanese politicians

24. unlikely to disarm Hizbullah
silvio ,   italy   (10.27.06)
The UnitedNations are doing an exceptional and impartial job in Lebanon: they could not disarm Hizbollah. . but could disarm Israel!
25. UN=useless nation
UN=useless navy   (10.27.06)

26. The IAF
joe   (10.27.06)
The Lions Club gets a competitor: THE LIARS CLUB USA/UK/ISRAEL Just seen on german TV: The incident involving a german naval ship and 6 IAF planes off the coast of Lebanon. Afew days ago a screaming denial from the IAF. Now the israeli ambassador in Germany admits the agressive behaviour. But only a part of it. He still insists no shots were fired. Even when the Germans have it all on video. Oh, thes poor "prosecuted.".........
27. B'cos Adnan is corrupted, useless and incompetent
John ,   NZ   (10.27.06)
28. Useless Article: Hezbollah can never be forced ....
Ali ,   Lebanon   (10.27.06)
This article has no point and sense. First of all, 1701 doesn't state in any sense disarming Hezbollah. It states that South Lebanon to Litany River should have no weapons and this is now the case. Any visible weapons should be seized although I believe that the UN will never want to put themselves in such a situation. Hezbollah will never disarm, until all the known goals are achenived and the war Israel started in July with a green light of the US to destroy Hezbollah proves that Hezbollah can never disarm by force. They are very organized, invisible, secret and intelligent. I am from South Lebanon and all what I can tell you, is that those people exist everywhere and at anytime without even recognizing that.
29. Damn right!!!
Natan ,   USA   (10.27.06)
The UN can't disarm a 10 year old kid with a toy gun!!! Every one knew what the UN can or cannot do...Sadly the Cannots are one hundred times more than the Cans!!! Did you expect anything diferrent from the UN?
30. UNIFIL IS AFRAID
Dale ,   Spokane USA   (10.27.06)
If UNIFIL is so afraid of Hezzy, why did they sign on to do this? It is apparent that they are there to protect Hezzy and Lebenon from Israeli aggression in a war that Hezzy started. Should war break out again, do you think Israel is going to accept another UN resolution to come to a cease fire? The UN is a joke. The reason for this last war was because UN resolutions were not implemented. Please UN, stop offering what you cannot do. UNIFIL, if you cannot fulfill your mandate there - get out !! I am sure the IDF will be happy to disarm them. This time without "restraint". South Lebenon is doomed to be nothing more than a wasteland. Thanks UNIFIL.
