>I made no such assumptions at all. As a matter of fact, I believe I posted somewhere in this thread that without knowing all the issues involved, I believe it's in Israel's best interest to return to the pre-1967 borders.

Yes, we agreed there. Then I probably misread some of that post - which is mostly the reason why we are still going around this one.

> I have stated that each resolution should be evaluated on its own merits, not that any against Israel are bad and ones against Hezbollah are good.

Ah, but if each country reserves the right to evaluate them... they become quite useless. OTOH, they are the word which remains. You can measure your country's worth by counting the number of resolutions it ignored :).

>>Since you insist: all resolutions are a result of negotiations where all negotiators follow their own interest. The end result is a resolution which represents the will of the world in its best available shape. So they are as good as it gets.

>>Besides, who's to decide whether each "Security Council resolution is a good one, based on sound reasoning"? You and I? We've already shown to each other that our ideas of sound reasoning differ. Since we couldn't possibly agree on that, we have delegated that task to the world's parliament, the UN.

>The United Nations is now the world's parliament? That is an interesting perspective. I am fairly certain that whatever "laws" the United Nations passes, I as a citizen of the United States am not subject to them. I am subject to the laws of the United States, however.

And the US laws say that any international treaty they sign is as good as law. And there's also a separation of jurisdictions between the states and the federation. Likewise, the UN are only as much of a world parliament as world agrees for it to be. Still it is a place where the world meets to discuss and pass texts which are more or less mandatory for members. We can only discuss whether UN has too much or too little influence and ingerence.

>>Now if you think that respecting the UNSC resolution is not the way to go, I knew a guy who who wholeheartedly agreed - Miloshevich. There were a bunch of those he chose to ignore.

And did Israel choose well each of 60+ times?
