UN aid and staving another offensive
Ok while I've read about the terrorist attacks in London online and heard reports, theres also another story that needs reporting today.
The UN has called for more aid to get to southern Lebanon and the possible offensive by Israel reported in the UK press is delayed by Israel to give the diplomatic route a chance, get a resolution and get Intl forces on the ground.
Its great people have been saved here and full marks to the security services, but lets not let Lebanon go off the ball. Todays events bring the calls for peace to be more clearer than before.
One last thing Islamofacism is not the threat its perversion of religion for extremist purposes. If you see todays events as a crusade the point is missed. The use of force and genocide is not allowed under Intl Law unless agreed at an Intl level (force not genocide!). The trouble is that terrorism cuts across borders and makes this difficult.
To hit it you go for finance, you go for capability and you do it integratedly. I'm not advocating world governance here, I am advocating UN resolutions against terror and more than that that sates then do something about it even handedly like UK and Eire have done over Irish terrorism over the opast years since ( post 9/11 and Bush call to Adams that it ends and it ends now). Its a shame dissidents didn't get the message.
