The U.S. will keep vetoing the resolutions for three reasons
1) They got what they wanted today which was a somewhat unified front from the G8 nations today condemning the Hezbollah.
2) The UN resolution does nothing to protect or secure Israel from attacks on thier border, and it does nothing to control or disarm these terrorist groups.
3) The U.S. will probably be able to send an envoy to the region which is a far more effective tactic then a blind unenforcible UN resolution.

Obviously Hezbollah is at fault for starting this war. They deserve most of what they get. Holding the entire Lebanese population hostage is what I think is wrong.
Just like Russia and France are supporting these countries for their personal interests, so is the US in terms of Isreal. I just don't understand what personal interests Canada has in supporting Isreal.

Canada's support is based around supporting (Crap I feel like Austin Power's "Allow myself to introduce . . . myself), a nation who has been legitimately attacked. Canada's statement didn't go as far as supporting Israel's methodology, but supported them in thier desire for security and the restoration of some semblance of peace in the region.
If Canada was sending troops and tanks into the area it would be a different story.
