Hezbollah ministers agree to disarm guerillas
2006-07-30
U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice welcomed as a "positive step" the agreement by Hezbollah cabinet members to seek an immediate cease-fire that would include the disarming of militias.

In Beirut, Hezbollah politicians signed on to a proposed peace package earlier Saturday that includes strengthening an international force in south Lebanon and disarming the guerrillas, the government said. The agreement, reached at a cabinet meeting, was the first time Hezbollah had agreed to a proposal for ending the crisis that includes the deploying of international forces.
"They're lying!"
"How can you tell?"
"Their lips are moving!"
Speaking to reporters en route to Jerusalem, Rice also praised powerless and ineffective Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora for persuading Hezbollah to agree. "The most important thing that this does for the process is that it shows a Lebanese government that is functioning as a Lebanese government," Rice told reporters traveling with her. "That is in and of itself extremely important."
Criminy, the things a diplomat has to do.

#6  Diplomacy -- it's like playing the piano, or acting. You gotta believe, at least in "method-diplomacy."
