NATO v UN
Defense Minister Amir Peretz also said Sunday after meeting Steinmeier that Israel would accept a temporary international force, preferably headed by NATO, deployed along the Lebanese border to keep Hizbullah away from the border.Sensible of the Israelis. NATO has real soldiers, a real chain of command and a real capacity to enfforce the peace. Watch for the lefties to suggest that only the UN has legitimacy in this instance. Why? Because Hezbollah has been operating under UN cover for six years. The UNIFIL contingent has stopped not a single rocket launch or disarmed a single terrorist. In fact, the UN, at the highest levels has covered up Hezbollah kidnappings.“Israel’s goal is to see the Lebanese army deployed along the border with Israel, but we understand that we are talking about a weak army and that, in the interim, Israel will have to accept a multinational force,” he said.

NATO is a good option. I wonder where the French would be with that…France (as far as I remember) quite the military side of NATO some time ago.
Captain Ed has similar thoughts here.

Why would the left say anything that? NATO is a group of social welfare countries that run the Globe. The success and power of the western world is fundamentally based on its leftist nature. That is why it will makes the best tool for this job – people who can understand the international community of mankind and are able to use big guns and tanks to enforce it against the rightist Islamo-facist scourge.
