From the NY Times today on the ineffective UN peace-keeping force in Lebanon:
Jean-Marie Guéhenno, the under secretary general for peacekeeping, said the problems confronting Unifil were ones frequently experienced when peace broke down.
“One should never forget that peace is made by those who fought, it is not made for them by the international community,� he said in a telephone interview from Brussels, where he was accompanying Mr. Annan.
"Peace is made by those who fought." Utterly brilliant don't you think? Why does it take us so long to figure out something so simple? Those who fight must agree to lay down their arms or the war is never over, not really.
The war is never over until they say it's over.
