If only it was that easy

Thankfully the U.S. and France have been able to get a draft resolution together for the U.N. Why this has not happened sooner is probably something I don't want to know. Unfortunately, Lebanon does not think the resolution is sufficient/satisfactory. They, in turn, propose their seven point plan, which is as follows (from Reuters):

"Lebanon wants any U.N. resolution to stick to the terms of a seven-point peace plan endorsed by its cabinet, which includes one Hizbollah minister.

The Lebanese plan calls for an immediate ceasefire, the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon, the return home of displaced Lebanese, the deployment of U.N. and Lebanese forces in the south and the disarmament of Hizbollah."

In a perfect world, that would have been what the U.S. and France could've agreed to. And the proposal almost seems enforceable.
