It won't allow me to link??? I do the same thing as always, yet it gives me this. Sorry.

Thanks! Very kind of you sir.

I believe it's because Israeli forces do not want to have to worry about accidentally killing other people, like it did with the UN observers. Besides, they already opened up a humanitarian corridor for people to flee Lebanon, which they have not and will not bomb.

There will always be people who cannot 'flee' and will need ambulance and medical help.

israel has been dropping leaflets (in arabic etc) from the skies, warning people to leave. further, israel also gave them 48 hrs to get out. the same cannot be said for hezbollah. also, who is to say these injured lebanese are not hezbollah. hezbollah has implanted itself among the civilian populace. crucial battles in world war 2 (or any war come to think of it) have never been won by constantly giving civilians caught up in the battle an opportunity to leave (though israel has done this) or by giving outside third-parties a chance to come in - which is basically a different way of asking israel to affect a ceasefire without having to ask hezbollah to do the same or without actually asking for a ceasefire. "hey, can you quit your attacks on hezbollah while we come in to assist the populace, for as long as we need?". "No" is the correct answer.

Did your browser freeze on ya jackvance88? Might want to get rid about 10+ of your reposts heheh. I've been watching the situation from the beginning. At first I was optimistic, but now I don't know what to think. Can we trust the media with them editing their pictures? Can we learn by word of mouth when there is so much desception in this world? I hate to think about it. But what sucks, is that people are dieing.
