In Iraq an estimated 150,000 people, mostly civilians have died as a result of that invasion and the country lies in ruins.
In recent days, we have seen a modern powerful state aided by the worlds most powerful state waging war on the civilian population of Lebanon.

Israel`s Prime Minister Olmert, in a speech before the attack, said, "the people of Lebanon will feel the pain" and he has been true to his word.
Over 500 killed already, half of them children, and 800,000 made homeless, you can kill people with weapons or you can deny them the essentials of life, same result-dead people.

As the destruction of Lebanon continues it does not take a genius to work out that whole generations are radicalised into a culture of resistance. A international community which fails to act to bring this carnage to an end can only feed into the sense of despair and helplessness.
