France Takes a Stand Against Standing Israeli Troops in Lebanon

Yes! I agree with France: no cease-fire should happen with Israeli forces occupying Lebanese territory. This was brought about by Arab nations talking with France.

But the United States is, of course, pitching a fit because - for some odd reason - we dance to Olmert's tune even though Israel gets most of its funding from the United States. I understand Israel's concerns, but what gives Israel the right to occupy another country's lands... something Israel has down time and again?
