'The UN Interim force in Lebanon was never going to achieve this because like most UN sanctioned forces since Korea, they are a toothless tiger...

You pretty much answer you original suggestion for another UN Peacekeeping Force. Do you think a successor to UNIFIL will be any more succesful - with the current make-up of the UNSCR who would give the force its mandate (Russia and China haven't been leaping to Israel's defence)?
OK so I mucked up the quote box!
