Walid Phares Wants The UN and the West to Man Up In Enforcing STL
November 9, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui
The Wall Street Journal is on a roll with its STL-related articles. Today there’s an opinion piece (requires subscription, but you can cheat by going here) by Walid Phares arguing for the west to show some balls once the indictment is made:
There are no moderates in Hezbollah. When the Special Tribunal issues its final verdict, let’s hope for Lebanon and the region’s sake that the U.N. and the West will have the courage to enforce the prosecutors’ findings.
What he doesn’t say though is how he wants them to do this. Drop marines on Dahieh? Send in UN forces to hostile urban areas? Whether we like it or not, there will be no way to “enforce” such an indictment.
