Giving is a virtue that provides a reward greater than itself. I've alway strived to inculcate a spirit of giving in my children with the idea that of all the blessing, giving will return unto them manifold and provide a lifetime of treasured fufillment. Our government's financial giving to Israel for military purposes stands as a testament to this viture. Taking sides? I think we have. God Bless America....and pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Here’s a sobering bit of information..

Yeah! Bush prances her out to go over there for an hour or less to resolve the matter. What a joke and waste of fuel. It's a dog and pony act. Comments 3 & 7 -

Bush prances her out to go over there for an hour or less to resolve the matter. What a joke and waste of fuel. It’s a dog and pony act.

That is Israel's plan from the get- go. They want to drive out the civilian population thru terrorism and create a no-man's land buffer( on Lebanese territory) where the cost of maintaining the buffer would be borne by the United Nations. They're going to try to hold the world hostage through a campaign of terror... the wheel that squeaks the loudest gets the grease? This whole atrocity didn't spontaneously combust with the kidnapping and killing of Israeli soldiers.. The plan was already in the works( like our invasion of Iraq) and Hezbollah mistakenly provided the pretext to launch the plan. Doug.. That is Israel’s plan from the get- go.

There are 2 points she made that are particularly correct. First, there ARE more than 2 sides to this, and 2) she abhors the loss of life on BOTH sides. (I won't waste my breath commenting on the brain-dead cheerleaders for bloodshed. ) I am following the news closely for a bilateral cease-fire. However angry you may be at Israel for their heavy-handed tactics, they are reacting to Hizbollah massing on the border with thousands of rockets. Consider these assertions of mine: 1) Israel wants those rockets and troops moved back. 2) Israel does not want to occupy Lebanon long-term. 3) The Lebanese governement is NOT up to the task of moving Hizbollah back. IMHO,there is an opportunity for diplomacy, if the 'world' will pool their resources to set up a buffer zone with troops - not observers. Any hope for peace must be hung on keeping the combatants apart, then working over decades to change attitudes on both sides. Kudos to Maha for a good post.

I can't say I disagree with them..The probability that the bombs that killed these children where from the rush shipment of laser guided bombs America just sent to Israel is great. And if not that, then Bush's insistence that the Lebanese people be terrorized completely before he would move to seek a cease fire... I guess Carla Fay Tucker isn't the only recipient of Bush hardened heart to the pleas of mercy. I just don't get it..How do you kill 50+ innocent people( mostly children) and then claim it's somebody else's fault? The same depravity that inhabits the White House is thriving in Israel also.

The bomb-chuckin' Israeli's tole them folk to leave. If'm they din't have no way to leave as they were: Poor people without personal transportation... Had no place to go...

My computer skills are lacking, as you most likely have noticed, so I'm at a loss on how to include articles in my comments, I'll continue to send you interesting stuff any way I can. There are some nasty photos of Lebanese victims of this crime available on the net, they are indeed terrible, victims of cluster bombs and white phosporus munitions. Thanks again...

This is like saying that my thumb has a closer connection to my hand than it does to the dark side of the moon. The Hashemite dynasty is a CIA front operation -- nothing less and nothing more. “My understanding is that he [Jordan's King Abdullah] has closer ties to the U.S. than he does to Syria and Iran.”
