As a follow up to that, I found this: http://lebanesebloggers.blogspot.com/
It's funny, b/c some Left-wing radio hater last night said "don't trust the media on this! Go to this website!" Well here's a good posting: Quote:

Mind you, I'm not saying any Lebanese are overjoyed to have a crater size hole in the runway of their brand new airport, but....

That's pretty much the standard coming from Lebanese blogs and posts on Pro-Israel message boards. On one hand, there is anger for a misdirected response, while on the other, they are supprotive that Israel is doing something and dropping the leaflets to avoid civilians casualties. |
BEIRUT (Reuters) - Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora called on Saturday for an immediate ceasefire, saying Israeli attacks had turned Lebanon into a disaster area in need of international aid.

If the Lebanese PM actually had any power that would mean something.
Maybe he should check with Syria and Iran before he says anything else. Geggy, if I could get the cash together, would you go fight the good fight with Hezbollah??? |
Geggy? Do you fully grasp the ramifications if
a) Israel falls. b) Iran and Korea join forces, and jump in. Do you? This goes beyond any romanticism towards oppressed Arabs, or your hatred for Jews. Think. |
Geggy, are you around, or are you busy playing anarchist role playing games again?
Add France, and the G-8 summit nations backing Israels right to self defense. Add Egypt, Jordan, and even the Palestinian Authority to Saudi Arabia's condemnation of Hizzbalahs provocations. I know you'll be sad when your Kaffiyeh goes out of style, but aren't you going to be happy if we get a liberated Lebanon out of all this? |

I guess to say I'm uninformed is a little more honest than screaming "Free Palestine!" or "Go Israel!" or something like that. |

So Korea's flaunting long range weapons, Israel is invading lebanon, and India is outright pinning the mumbia train blast on the Pakistani government.
Why does it feel like the world is going to hell in a hand basket this week? |
It's outright freakish how Israel and India got attacked, and yet Scru, you phrase it to sound like they're the aggressors causing trouble in line with korea flaunting long range missiles.
|
It's outright freakish to think anyone would say Isreal isn't exacerbating the situation.
Not that they have any other choice but to bomb the fuck outta Lebanon for what Syria is doing to them... :/ |
GO JEWS!
I can't help but smirk with childish glee at the fact that Isreal's entirely proportionate response to the larger global WOT is only making Bush's fighting of Kerry's War in Iraq look good. Even with our Abu Ghraibs, Gitmos and Haddithas US troops are decidedly fighting the kindler, gentler form of war on a tactic here. I think it's good for the world to see that so graphically displayed. The 99% of the population of the planet that wouldn't pick up a book on the subject might even notice. More informed observers might even take note of Isreal's political unification on the subject, maybe might even compare that to the political wars going on in the homelands of Europe and America. Organizations exist that were chartered in order to expedite the extermination of most of us here for some reason, right there with the Zionist state. All of us are gonna wind up swept into some ocean if we don't start taking this tactic, possibly the last as yet undefeated hope in a long list of tactics designed to maintain slavery among men, somewhat more seriously. I repeat: GO JEWS! |

What, will Hezbollah kidnap more people because of israel? maybe Syria or Iran will be forced to finance more terrorist organizations because of what Israel's doing. :rolleyes |
I believe every death exacerbates the situation. Regardless of whose hands are getting stained. :(
|
Well, y'know what? I'm not sure many of us will die for something as important as plugging the MidEast into the modern world and ending terrorism as a method of influencing world events.
If you are not comfortable discussing the deaths of people, then you might not want to be speaking up about war, because that's pretty much all there is to see here, Betty. |

"What they need to do is get Syria to get Hizbollah to stop doing this shit, and it's over." - George W. Bush
|
So Ziggy, if Israel completely overlooked Lebanon (which is where the soldiers were transported to, which is why Israel targeted infrastructure), and just started bombing Damascus, you'd be in favor of it.....?
|
Why would I be OK with that?
Those were Bush's words, not mine. And he also said, "I felt like telling Kofi to call, to get on the phone to Assad and make something happen." "We're not blaming Israel. We're not blaming the Lebanese Government." You talk about targetting infrastructure, yet death tolls are already up to around 230. I'm having trouble finding numbers for deaths caused by the Rockets fired into Israel, but those numbers should be included as well. It is an escalation of violence from both sides. You're a god-damned idiot if you deny that simple point. Meanwhile, the string pullers sit pretty in their mansions and palaces. Just another day on planet Earth. edit: Israeli death toll was up to 24 (of which half were civilian) as of Monday night (source -- the picture of those little girls writing messages on those rockets is sad). |
Not to seem crude or or anything but 230 deaths, considering the strategical damage to the infrastructure they keep talking about, really isn't that big of a deal.

If the Republican Party had an armed wing, let's call it the NRA, and they crossed the Canadian border and kidnapped two mounties, what would a justified response be from the Canadaians?
What if Canada had evidence that the NRA was not only being supported in their efforts by Mexico, but they also intended to smuggle those poor mounties into Mexico or Guatemala? What if Canada learned that the whole thing was orcehstrated by Guatemala and Mexico, and instead of cooperating, the NRA continued to attack Canada? What if the U.S. government claimed to have no control over the NRA, despite UN pressure to disram them? Would Canada be justified in trying to prevent the NRA from getting those mounties into Mexico, or would Canada simply ignore the role the U.S. played in the whole mess? What should Israel do, Ziggy? |
Canada would send a strike team of commando beavers across the border to de-forest the entire U.S. overnight.

I don't know, Kevin. But that doesn't mean I have to like what's going on.

Ziggy, nobody has to like what's going on, but it is going on. And it isn't going to stop if Israel simply stops fighting. It'll only stop when groups like Hezbollah no longer exist, and countries like Syria and Iran stop waging proxy wars against Israel. |
