Condoning Butchery - The Bush/Blair Axis
How will history judge us when the bombs and rockets stop falling, when the shooting ends ? "JERUSALEM, July 30 -- Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice was forced to cancel a trip to Beirut Sunday after an Israeli airstrike killed more than 50 people, mostly women and children, in the southern Lebanese town of Qana in the bloodiest attack since the hostilities began between Israel and Lebanon's Hezbollah militia. But she did not call for an immediate ceasefire."
BEIRUT, July 30 -- In an attack that the Israeli military said was aimed at destroying Hezbollah rocket launchers, Israeli warplanes blasted a group of buildings in a southern Lebanese village Sunday, killing more than 50 people, most of them women and children, according to Lebanese officials and on-scene interviews by Lebanese television reporters. Coming at a particularly sensitive point in negotiations to end the conflict, the attack on the village threw the painstaking process of building toward an agreement into turmoil. Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Siniora said he would not hold talks with Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice until a ceasefire is called. |

Re: "This is not the fault of the USA".
Didn't we rush a supply of "smart bombs" to Israel on an emergency basis? Based on images of what some of bombs do to living creatures their use could fall under War Crimes.
The U.S. is supposedly fighting a "proxy war" against Iran and Syria with Israel doing the dirty work. But at what price? One has to be naive to think that the death and destruction will be wiped off the memory of the Lebanese people. Perhaps we expect to buy their support with money for reconstruction. Look at what is happening in Iraq. We failed to buy their support.
