14 to 0, completely unanimous. The UN Security Council RESOLVED that Israel and Hamas should stop fighting. This is the equivalent of a small girly-man crossing guard telling two high-school Juniors that they should really stop fighting . . . from 2 rows back in the crowd that has gathered around the fight.
In dutifully Macho fasion "Prime Minister Ehud Olmert's office said Israel "has never agreed to let an external body decide its right to protect the security of its citizens.""
The US, further showing how big and brassy Condoleeza Rice's balls are, abstained from voting. Way to show bold leadership, working on the wording of a resolution and not even voting on it, eh? The resolution, by the way, called for unimpeded access for humanitarian aid.
Hold on there.
Hamas has been known to use UN-marked ambulances to transport arms in violation of all civilized nations' traditions for conventional war. We are going to give unfettered access to our enemies, to use the cover of humanitarian aid to rearm and resupply, while they continue to launch rockets at our women and children?
In this case, UN is short for "uh, no."
