UN well intentioned, but misguided

As I listened to Annan speak at the UN today about the Israel/Hezbollah conflict, I agreed with a lot of what he said. He spoke about needed to get aid in to the civilian population, care for the displaced and work with the international community to create a lasting peace in the Region. All of those things are dead on. However, he is missing one very important point. Without the dismantling of these terrorist groups, the violence will continue. A call for a cease fire will only put off the inevitable; maybe for a few months or a few years, but it will not end. We have seen time and time again that these groups continue to operate unimpeded if they are left to exist. It happened in Iraq, it is happening in Iran and Syria. As difficult as it may be, if these groups will not voluntarily dismantle then they will have to be dismantled by outside forces. The same goes for North Korea. Within 45 minutes of the UN voting for the latest resolution, North Korea rejected it. They do not and will not play be the rules. I certainly understand the desire to avoid an armed conflict with any of these countries, but in most of these cases it is unavoidable. The UN continues to provide evidence that it cannot deal with these terrorist states.
