08-20-06 - Enforcing the ceasefire The risk now is that the UN, France and Germany may try to restrain Israel from any further action while Britain and the United States remain silent.

Unless the US is willing to restrain Israel from carrying out more raids, and make its view clear in public, it is unlikely other nations will want to expose their troops and the peacekeeping force may collapse through international inertia.
