At least 60 civilians dead, at least 37 children, many who were disabled. Is it time to stop them yet? How many more "mistakes" will Israel make if they're allowed the additional 10-14 days they've asked Condi to condone this offensive. The've taken out UN observers, and now this attack on Qana. The civilians were warned to leave, they've claimed. But how are they to get out? They're poor, elderly, children, disabled...they simply do not have the means to evade Israel's assaults. Kofi, bless his heart, is pushing for an immediate cessation of fighting, but the Bushies still don't get it (not surprised). They still want a permanant solution to a decades (or maybe centuries) old problem, and they want it through war. Allowing the Israeli offensive to continue has simply brought about further escalation. As I've written before, Iranian and Syrian militants are starting to stream toward Lebanon to come to Hezbollah's defense. And now, Lebanese officials have cancelled talks with Condi in light of this latest violence on Sunday. We're quickly degenerating into a regional all-out brawl, and that's scary. If we allow this to continue as Israel would like, will we be able to stop it when we want to?
On an entirely different note, anyone have any tricks for getting crickets out of your house? This thing's driving me nutz!!!
