Good News

Really good news. As of 2:50 CST I can still find no significant pressure being placed on Israel to stop its offensive.

Most offensive term in dipospeak: "Proportionallity".

UPDATE:
As of Monday, July 17, 3:35 PM CST STILL no meaningful international pressure to get Israel to quit fighting back.

From Fox News:
U.S. Ambassador John Bolton said Monday the U.N. Security Council should delay any action on the escalating conflict between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah guerrillas until a U.N. mission now in the Mideast trying to defuse the crisis returns to New York later this week. "I think it's very important that with events as unclear and fast-moving as they are that the Security Council not do anything to unsettle the matter further."

Vijay Nambiar, the special political adviser to Secretary-General Kofi Annan, [and head of the U.N. mission now in the Mideast] in Beirut on Monday, said he will present Israel with "concrete ideas" about ending the fighting, but also warned that "much diplomatic work needs to be done." "We have made some promising first efforts on the way forward..."
That's what I like, that much diplomatic work yet needs to be done. Don't hurry
