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?
