dianavan,

You and CarolC have ignored my comments that the Israelis DO NOT TARGET civilians, and Hezbollah and Hamas DO. Yes, there are CIVILIAN CASUALTIES IN lEBENON- Israel targets the launch SITES of THE UNGUIDED, AREA BOMBARDMENT rockets that Hezbollah, having gotten 10 to 12 THOUSAND from the Iranian army stocks, is using to attack CFIVILIAN -NOT MILITARY- areas of Israel. If Hezbollah launches them from civilian areas, in violation of the Geneva conventions, THEY are to blame- YET YOU BLAME ISRAEL.

If Israel WAS targeting civilians, I think they could do better than 183 dead in a week- Even your friends the insurrectionists in Iraq are doing more than twice that.

So, I expect you to acknowledge the restraint that the Israelis have shown, given the few civilian casualties in Lebenon, IN SPITE of the best efforts of Hezbollah to make this a bloddbath of innocents.
