Just what we need

Another middle-eastern war to get involved in.

At least the current proposal would use Turkish and Egyptian troops under a NATO or UN commander, rather than US troops. Theoretically, that's the way that international peacekeeping efforts are supposed to work. But at this point will anybody trust or be willing to work with a proposal from the United States? Will the Turks, the Egyptians, or other countries pony up the necessary troops and resources? And will Israel or Hezbollah and its supporters respect such a force and its right to intervene?

At least neither of them has a seat on the Security Council, which would give them the power to outright veto any UN action that was inconvenient to them.
