So, the United Nations passed a truce resolution in between banging each other’s hot, foreign interns.  That’s what they do, right?  Anyway, the resolution calls for an immediate ceasefire.  CNN reports:

Fourteen of the council’s 15 members voted in favor of the resolution, with U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice abstaining from the vote on behalf of the United States.

The resolution expresses “grave concern” about the growing humanitarian crisis and heavy civilian casualties in Gaza, as well as civilian deaths in Israel from Hamas rocket fire.

Roughly 765 Palestinians and 13 Israelis, including 10 soldiers, have been killed since Israel began its military assault on Gaza on December 27.

The resolution “stresses the urgency of, and calls for, an immediate, durable, and fully respected cease-fire which will lead to the full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza.”

Why do they even try?  Six months from now it’ll be, “So, Israel, Hamas, you guys remember that resolution we pass back in January?”  Also, I noticed that the United States abstained from voting.  It’s good to know that we don’t want to take public sides when we are secretly supporting both sides, and hope that they continue to blow the hell out of each other.  Can we make Obama President already?
