Only four nations in the world stand against a ceasfire, the U.S., the U.K., Canada and Israel.

Sad, isn't it?

Lebanon asks Rice not to visit Lebanon after Israeli airstrike
ASSOCIATED PRESS

BEIRUT, Lebanon, July 30 — The Lebanese government asked Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice on Sunday to put off a visit to Lebanon after an Israeli airstrike that killed more than 50 people.
Lebanon said it would only consider an immediate cease-fire to the Israeli-Hezbollah fighting.

What is sad is that some people think that Hezbollah will accept peace with Israel.

What is Hezbollah and what are its goals?

The core of the Hezbollah organization (also spelled Hizballah, Hezbullah and other variants, meaning 'Party of God') in Lebanon comes from 'Iranian Revolutionary Guards' sent to Lebanon in 1982, at the time of Israel's invasion of Southern Lebanaon designed to oust the PLO. They went to assist in the establishment of a revolutionary Islamic movement whose members would participate in the 'Jihad', Holy War, against Israel from bases in Lebanon's Bekaa Valley. Inspired by the success of the Iranian Revolution and establishment of an Islamic Republic in Iran, Hezbollah also dreamt of transforming Lebanon's multi-religion state into an Iranian-style Islamic state. Its ideology, as expressed in declarations by its leadership, maintained that Israel had no legitimacy as a state, and that it must be fought until Jerusalem, meaning all of Israel, is liberated.

Ideally, Lebanon should realize that democracies don't support terrorism and offer to help Israel get rid of Hezbolah.

And therefore blowing up said women and children is justifiable?

But from the words of the Lebanese PM, they support Hezbolah. Not only that, they thanked them.

So...

Hey, did you see the pics that Natural posted? That's their children.

I doubt that Lebanon's PM echoes the sentiments of its citizens any more than Bush echoes mine.

Give him a box of power tools and a bottle of "Jack" and let nature take its course.
