Does Lebanon get to request troops that do not have diplomatic relations with them? I agree with Ron, the more international troops under the authority of the U.N., the better. It is the best way to disarm Hezbollah. Why would they sabbotage this?

I still can't find where Malaysia and Indonesia have denied Israel's right to exist. Can you please provide a source?

btw - Harper may think that it was a "measured response" by Israel but thats not what the majority of Canadians think. Canada should be there to help re-build and provide medical assistance.
