what's with the anthropomorphizing of Israel? Its a country, not a person...All countries are "its"...not her, not she....sorry, just a bit of pet peeve of mine - don't take it personally.

Perhaps what should have happened was to allow the UN observers time to evacuate, as was done today, when the last two UN observer posts were evacuated...as for "The cost? Nothing" comment, I'll assume you didn't mean that as flippantly as it reads...

As many have stated, the UN is only as strong as the resolve of its member state...each and all have their own goals and ends.

You might want to familiarlize yourself with the voting records of the security council - if you aren't already - The US is as guilty as anyone else in making the UN ineffectual.
