"If you use terms like "disproportionate response" after all isn't that the idea? to overwhelm the enemy?" Yes MM, isn't it amazing how the word "disproportionate" instantly transforms the victim into the aggressor in all the world press. How Orwellian.

Do you actually truly believe this? That the number of civilian deaths has no bearing on the morality of the action? Why then does Israel (and the US for that matter) insist that they do everything possible to avoid civilian casualties? Because Democratic countries like Israel and the US actually DO<

Granted these facts may not always be 100% accurate. For instance, it is quite possible that some Lebanese lie dead and uncounted under bombed buildings. As might some Israeli civilians.

Once again you leave out or gloss over important details in the story. Like the fact that an endless barrage of missiles was being launched on Israel from the town, missiles packed with ball-bearings the purpose of which was to cause as much carnage as possible to Israeli civilians. Dismissing these important details out of hand and only presenting the parts of the story that bolster your argument is an ingenuous tactic. If Hezbollah is going to target Israeli civilians and continu

I think Israel should have declared open war on the Lebanese, and treated it as such. I have read that there has never been a peace accord/treaty between Israel and Lebanon and that officially the two countries have been in a state of war since 1948. If this is true then technically this is just anoth

It is one of the best pieces of disinformation put out by the Israelui that Hizbollah uses civilians as cover. Not a single UN obverver or even a credible US correspondent like Woolf Blitzer on Annanpour have made that accusation. Is the UN Under-Secretary General for Humanitarian Affairs credible enough for you? Jan Egeland

Shake the dust off your feet. I've stopped clicking his links and I feel much better now. If everyone did they'd drift down out of sight in a matter of hours and he'd get the attention someone who writes knee-jerk propaganda deserves. Agreed. And I submit another name to that list: Bahu.

So far the Israelis have flown 2000 sorties over Lebanon and have killed over 619 people and nearly all of them civilians, women and huge number of children. The Israeli response is dispropotionate and so inept that they killed even UN peace keepers. There is no such thing as a disproportionate respons

For self defence. Without the means to defend themselves the state of Israel will take the Arab land minus its people. And I think you are aware of thast. By the phrase "take the Arab land minus its people" do you refer to the Israeli withdrawal of all its forces from Lebanon in May 2000, implementing UN security council resolution 425? Or perha

I see, so the good guys aren't allowed to be the superior fighters. To be a 'good guy' you also have to be the underdog and have more casualties? Bullshit! That's trully far kukt logic.

seems like if you had 20 more cards like that--thus increasing the amount of cash you'd be able to invest in growing our economy by about $100,000--you'd deserve to benefit from some of them top tier tax breaks.

There are an estimated 15,000 missles in Lebanon. Anywhere from a half-dozen to a dozen are fired against civilian targets in Isreal every day. That isn't in retaliation against Israel's invasion; it was going on before. Would you agree that that is unacceptable? Were it you being fired at on a daily basis, after politely asking

simon has outright denied the song is about beatty or james taylor. she's been a bit more coy about mick jagger.

How do you get a ceasefire with terrorists? Very straightforward answer to this. Kill every last one of them. When there is none of them left to be at war with you will have (by default), a ceasefire.
