Considering that I just returned from Beirut might have a bit of knowledge in the area.

The Christian Lebanese are for the most part sitting back and watching this unfold. They have been dominated by the Moslems for years now and this war is all their doing, not the Christian Lebonese or Israeli's. These are the people I feel sorry for, as they had nothing to do with this action.

Remember that Hezbollah kidnapped the Israeli soldier, and kept shelling Northern Israel for years with Iranian rockets, not the other way around, killing numerous civilians.

Considering that the Moslem Lebanonese started much of this, and have been killing civilians right and left, many might just say that they are now getting what they deserve.

Techie, this is war, and in war people get killed. Hezbollah knew this before they started it, but now admit that they did not realize that the response would be so strong. Good! Hope the next time they think about doing something they will think twice about it.

Oh yea, we possibly did supply some of the cluster bombs dropped in Lebanon. So what? Are you silly enough to think that if the Israeli's did not get them from us that they would not have purchased them from China or Russia? Are the cluster bombs from China or Russia non lethal? Do they spray out paint balls that simply let you know that you did something stupit by picking up a bomblet or are you just as dead by any bomb no matter where its made?
