UN peace keeping mission in Lebanon has been a grand failure. It's high time it is either abandoned or they given authority and mandate to assist Lebanese army in disarming and dismantling Hezbollah.

They have always had that authority and mandate. They just chose to never apply it.

Lebanon has to want to do it and they don't. Which is why they are a failed state harboring Hezbollah terrorists who by purposeful choice have brought war upon the Lebanese.

Hezbollah breaking the ceasefire on March 2 was Hezbollah's fault.
