You guessed it, more cowbell.

Let me start by saying I have a lot of sympathy for the people of Lebanon.  In my opinion the country of Lebanon has for the most part been an innocent bystander in the Arab-Israeli conflict, sending only token forces if any in the great battles against Israel.  In many ways Lebanon is similar to Israel, a very fragile and small country.   And it has been hijacked by some brutal people (Iran via Hizbollah) in the name of regaining Palestine.  Only recently have they ousted Syrian secret police only to have the power vacuum filled literally by Israeli bombs and Hizbollah.  I share the sentiment of the (warning this links to an Israeli website which is designed to burn the eyeballs of all peace and justice loving individuals) Lebanese PM when he says, "I Hope the (Lebanese) army will be the only military entity to be recognized by all residents of southern Lebanon ,"  Amen, brother, and good luck with that.

I go on the record to say that the attack on Beirut by Israel was totally unfair, and Lebanese civilians surely suffered the most of this conflict.  I don't think, however, Israel was unprovoked as Scottie implies.  10 men an invasion, when rockets are being shot into Israel, as they had been LONG before Israel set foot in Lebanon?

Can the U.N. enforce sanctions on a non-state like Hezbollah?  Can Amnesty International report on them?  Well, here's what the most recent report said,

"The evidence strongly suggests that the extensive destruction of power and water plants, as well as the transport infrastructure vital for food and other humanitarian relief, was deliberate and an integral part of a military strategy," Gilmore said in a press release."

That transport infrastructure was "roads and bridges".

Meanwhile, from the same report,

"During the four week war Hezbollah fired 3,900 rockets at Israeli towns and cities with the aim of inflicting maximum civilian casualties.

 

The Israeli government says that 44 Israeli civilians were killed in the bombardments and 1,400 wounded.

 

AI has not issued a report accusing Hezbollah of war crimes."

There's a fine line between being harmless and being incompetant.  AI wants to make Israel accountable for it's aggression that is understandable.  But not to condemn Hezbollah for having bad equipment and missing targets is basically having a double standard, since Hezbollah's goal was to maximize Israeli casualties.

Then of course I have to put up a youtube clip.

Now, maybe this isn't legit, but hey, it's YouTube.
