Lest We Forget

From Maj.-Gen. Alain Pellegrini, the commander of the UN peacekeeping force in Lebanon:

"UNIFIL does not plan to deploy along the border between Lebanon and Syria," he said. "This border is airtight and hermetically closed by the Lebanese army."

There is something about his absolute certainty that makes one think it'll come back to haunt him. It is the Middle East, you know.

The only question is how long before it boomerangs.
