Egypt condemns "irresponsible" Israeli Qana strike

CAIRO, July 30 (Reuters) - Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak condemned as "irresponsible" on Sunday an Israeli air strike on the Lebanese village of Qana that killed at least 40 Lebanese civilians, including 23 children.

"The Arab Republic of Egypt expresses its profound alarm and its condemnation of the irresponsible Israeli bombing of the Lebanese village of Qana, which resulted in innocent casualties, mostly women and children," a statement from the president's office published by the state news agency MENA said.

The Qana air strike occurred as U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was in Jerusalem on a mission to get Israel and Lebanon to agree on an international force to deploy on the border as part of a ceasefire deal.

The attack prompted Lebanon to tell Rice she was unwelcome in Beirut before a ceasefire.

Mubarak, who had earlier said that Israel's actions had gone "way too far" in Lebanon, repeated an earlier call for an immediate ceasefire and said the calm would pave the way for "diplomatic action to end the causes of the current deterioration".

You would take that word out to justify indiscriminate killing of civilians.

I'm sorry...I did no such thing. I simply pointed out that it is difficult impossible to discern "innocent civilians" from terrorists in this type of war.

Just because the terrorists or the Enemedia (but I repeat myself) say someone was an innocent civilian, does not necessarily make it true.

I said "knowingly", and it's certainly possible to "knowingly kill innocent civilians" in any war.

Please work on your logic ~ I understand the point you'd like to make, but you can't quite do it with my words. Remember, if you have a true statement, then the contrapositive is equally true. On the other hand, reversing subject and predicate does not a contrapositive make.
