can't believe this. The world is outraged about the strike in Qana. Boo frikkin' hoo!
A repeat of Jenin. The world, as usual, is ready to blame Israel. they are equally ready to accept the reports of the events from the Arabs, who have proven repeatedly that they are congenital liars.
In this alternate universe, the world can't wait to believe the terrorists.

I don't think President Bush will relent either..but he can't force Israel to fight..any more than he can tell them NOT to fight.

Am wondering out loud if we would get upset enough to storm their offices and trash them like moozies gone wild.

There is a time, fellow freepers, to turn off pipeline, turn the sound off Fox, stay away from MSNBC or whatever your particular poison is, back off, and know you are reacting like the MSM WANTS YOU TO.
Switch to reviewing headlines and stay away from analytical blogs until you decompress.
If you want to do something more active I suggest the following:
Pray for Israel, especially Olmert and the decisions he has to make. I particularly recommend rereading Psalm 83 Psalm 91 and Psalm 23.
Write letters to the white house, your congress critters and letters to the editor expressing your outrage about how the Hezzies use children to hide behind, and the fact that the press doesn't condemn them for it.
Stretch, walk, have a drink.
Recite the Serenity prayer:
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference.
(especially contemplate that last line)
Eat some chocolate, if you are so inclined.
We care passionately, but every time we let the MSM push us into that land of fear and frustration and despair, we have given them tools to interfere with doing the things that can be done, and they love to cloud our judgment.
Pray for President Bush and for Condi and all who will guide our policy.
And as they say in the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy - DON"T PANIC!

The answer may be but a smoldering crater with all having met their martyrdom.

sofa! Spot on.. Jena also came to mind. We need to let the Israeli's response develop on their terms. The internet doesn't know all....

Perhaps you can point me to UN outrage also...(if not, the WORLD can kiss my Jew-ass in Macy's window).Pharmboy, I am not responsible for the UN. I wish it didn't exist. The UN is nothing but a huge anacronistic boondoggle.
The Israeli ambassador to the United States said on TV today that this is a terrible black eye to what Israel is trying to do. It's no different when U.S. soldiers throw a few panties on Islamofacist heads. We become the bad guys, while no one says boo about the atrocities the Muslims perpetrate on each other.
The Israeli Prime Minister and every Israeli government spokesman did exactly the same thing I did today: mourn the death of innocents while putting the blame squarely on Hezbollah -- and by extension on all Islamofacists. I understand some people see that as a weakness. I do not.

oh, dang....sofa!!
Are you just now getting the news??? I have been waiting for you to come on this thread and talk sense into some of the freepers that are being very pessimistic....
NOOOOOOO...it is not a 48 hour cease-fire.
Israel has called 24-48 hour cessation of aerial strikes on south Lebanon...so that they can investigate Qana..AND the rest of the civilians in south Lebanon have a chance to leave.
However, they will still shoot artillery rounds, have a ground attacks...fire in other parts of Lebanon...AND, if they see activity by Hezbollah, that they are going to fire at Israel...all bets are off.
Now...SOME are saying this is it...it is over, Israel caved..and lost..
Hezbollah won, "big time"!
Now..your thoughts, please?
