The momentous achievement
of the UN draft resolution on the violence in southern Lebanon
is greeted with much derision in the real world. Lebanon rejects
it and asks to be consulted. The Arab League meets and decides
it needs to send a delegation to the UN to insist its voice is
heard. Most importantly, the violence continues unfettered. The
UN looks like an impotent talking shop. The flag substituted
with speech bubbles and shot through with bullet holes seemed
an appropriate metaphor. Po-faced? Moi?
