It would be much easier for Israel to carpet bomb a Lebanese town than it is to trace where missles are being launched and to send a precision bomb to that precise coordinate -- after spending a day spreading leaflets telling the population to leave because a bombing is imminent.

Yes, that's a nice fairy tale. Ports and power plants in Lebanon were bombed. Bridges bombed. Neighborhoods bombed. A convoy of refugees was bombed. A UN observer post was bombed. Nearly 600 Lebanese killed, last I heard. And the last Israeli report I heard seemed to indicate about 40% of the victims were civilians.
It was a good 10-12 days before this story of 'dropping leaflets on neighborhoods' surfaced. I would like to see some independent corroboration that is actually happening.
The other side is pumping out propaganda, as well. At least one child's corpse was paraded around by a "rescue worker" for -- what appears to be -- 4 hours. There are 5 or 6 different photos of the dead child circulating various news services.
