I've Been Thinking:

How would you define the term "terrorist organization"?

In a meeting, just yesterday, with Tzipi Livni, a lawyer by profession and now Israel's Foreign Minister, Javier Solana the European Union High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy explained that it is unclear that Hezbollah has fulfilled the definition of a terrorist organization. He said that this is a legal issue not an ethical one.

A silly comment but it also illustrates the perspective of certain world leaders.

At just about the same time Syria informed the United Nations that Terje Roed Larson, the UN's lead ambassador was not welcome in their country.
Now Larson is no friend of Israel but he is the UN Secretary General's Special Envoy. He is a solid by-the-book envoy who follows strict policy.

These aren't items you read about in the mainstream press.
But understand the situation for what it is.
The European Union dwells in a world of delusion.
Syria is an obstacle, Syria is not, cannot and will not be, a part of a possible solution.
