Lebanese Response
The Lebanese government officially responded to the resolution on the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) website in three ways:
- The withdrawal of the foreign forces from Lebanon;
- Disarming the Lebanese and foreign guerillas; and
- Expanding the government's authority on all the Lebanese territories.
Hezbollah and the Loyalty to the Resistance bloc denounced a report on the resolution in 2010 as meddling in Lebanese affairs.

Famous quotes containing the word response:
“Because humans are not alone in exhibiting such behavior—bees stockpile royal jelly, birds feather their nests, mice shred paper—it’s possible that a pregnant woman who scrubs her house from floor to ceiling [just before her baby is born] is responding to a biological imperative . . . . Of course there are those who believe that . . . the burst of energy that propels a pregnant woman to clean her house is a perfectly natural response to their mother’s impending visit.”
—Mary Arrigo (20th century)
