Israel not only bombed the U.N. in Lebanon, they bombed it CONTINUOUSLY FOR HOURS...!

and so, the israeli excuse for this would be...?

The UN general secretary, Kofi Annan, today accused the Israeli military of carrying out a sustained bombing of the UN base on the Lebanon-Israel border that culminated in the killing of four unarmed monitors.

Mr Annan said he had suggested to the Israeli prime minister, Ehud Olmert, that they carry out a joint investigation into the events that led to the shelling of the "well-established and well marked" Unifil (UN interim force in Lebanon) post in the town of Khiyam.

"I spoke to Mr Olmert and he definitely believes it was a mistake and has expressed his deep sorrow, " Mr Annan told a press conference in Rome.

"But the shelling started in the morning and went on until after 7pm. You cannot imagine the anguish of the unarmed men and women peacekeepers who were there."

so, tell me again how israel is now willing to accept u.n.-sponsored peacekeeping forces in the region...? this is UGLY and isn't going to go away quietly...
