Thanks for the summary. I have to vent a little after I have been driving all day, listening to various talk shows and the MSM. It has about driven me nuts. No one wants to really talk about the reason for the disparity in these casualty numbers. It is quite simple, Israel and its people build bomb shelters for their citizens -- Lebanon and Hezballah use their citizens as human shields so their deaths will mold world opinion. This shows a vast difference in religion, culture and basic morality. The folk that talk in the media are too PC to bring this obvious fact up. Then, to top it all off, Michael Savage today even went to the extreme of accusing the Israeli government and the Bush Administration of wanting to prod Iran into a nuclear attack on Israel so that the hundreds of thousand of dead would justify a retaliatory strike on Iran. As absurd as this sounds to me, there are many willing to entertain the idea. As one poster is want to say, just damn.
Let's see...Israel gets attacked, but thst's so it can prod Iran into nuking it?
What did they do? Bribe Hamas into kidnapping that soldier that started all of this?
Oh, good freakin' grief. There are some real strange people out there.
So true .. you just about have to double check anything you hear in the media anymore. They're total parrots of the prevailing propaganda du jour.
Aren't these Lebanon figures supposed to be "civilians"? Are we suppose to believe that the only Lebanese killed have been civilians? Who is it there that determines the "civilians" from the Hezzies since the cowards don't wear identifying uniforms or insignia?
Washington DC does NOT control everything the world.
This nonsense that everything in the world is done, or not done because the President of the USA does, or does not, do what self important Media type thinks he should is childish and absurd.
