In times of historic importance and great Change, some quotes generated from within the situation totally crystallizes the moment and upon reading them, a wary reader can see History forming before his or her very eyes. That was my feeling, just now, reading the paper.
“Is this what the international community calls self-defense? Is this the price we pay for aspiring to build our democratic institutions?”
-Lebanese Prime Minister Fouad Saniora
The anguish and desperation in these words is palpable and the first words of a politician in this scene that I take as a 100% bonafide Truth, not an easy thing to find in times of War. It’s Truth because Fouad is watching everything that he and others in his country have worked so hard for being utterly destroyed. He knows it. Dubya knows it. Every leader in the world knows it. Do you?
I have taken and firmly hold a non-partisan stance, this being the only true path towards peace for the region and world. Having said that, Israel absolutely MUST stop its widespread destruction of the fledgling democracy of Lebanon to prevent its own peril if nobody else’s. 60 innocent Lebanese civilians killed JUST YESTERDAY ALONE.
Look folks, this isn't what happened in 2001, or 1948 or three hundred years ago, this is what's happening RIGHT NOW. Fact is, Israel is actively reducing Lebanon to rubble and a great heaping shitload of innocent humanity is getting wasted in the process. Of the nearly 300 dead in Lebanon, how many are innocents? And will their families say "ah well, I truly believe that missile was meant for a terrorist, not my beloved, and therefore I forgive." I doubt it. What would you think?
I know Israel is taking hits too! And I hate that JUST AS MUCH. Thing is, the guys doing the shooting at Israel are actual terrorists, right? Terrorists have the bad rep they got because they don’t care about killing innocents! Right? Whatever it takes do accomplish what they seek, period. Because they’re EVIL! Right? Ask yourself, how does this differ from Israel’s wanton ravaging of Lebanon? Responding in kind (and in a WILDLY DISPROPORTIONATE manner - 300 NOW DEAD! I mean really, I hope you get your THREE SOLDIERS back! That's if you haven't already bombed them to kingdom come with everything else of significance in Lebanon) makes a Nation what, exactly?
I mean, Al Quaeda, Hezbollah, Hamas, whatever, kill em all twice as far as I'm concerned. Three times! But all of Lebanon is a target? Water and power plants? All the ports, the roads, the airports? This place was just getting her shit together! Just gained independence of Syria! Developing a burgeoning Democracy in the MID-BLOODY-EAST OF ALL PLACES!! And it's getting TORCHED as we SPEAK! RIGHT NOW!!!
Well, I always heard that two wrongs don't make a right, and when you answer a 'wrong' with 'even wronger,' well, Israel just ends up making itself out to be every bit the big monster that it's enemies have always said it was, which sucks because it's only gonna cause more trouble for them. Nothing's getting solved here! I challenge one person to tell me how anything's getting solved here! More and more terrorists are being born of this tragedy every day and noone anywhere can deny that. Noone anywhere. More terrorists for all, but especially Israel and, it must be said, the good old US of A, and I would say any ‘civilised’ Nation that sits back and watches the murder from afar and says it’s all justified and Isreal may do whatever it wishes to anybody so long as it is in "self defense".
It’s not justified. I have no choice but to say the Israeli leadership and the leadership of Hezbollah or Hamas or any terrorist group, Al Quaeda even, are all a bunch of blood-thirsty murdering dicks and that I hope one and all go to whatever Hells they believe in. So, there you have it.
As for the international community that stands aside and watches Beirut burn to the ground, all the while claiming the hope that democracy will somehow survive in Lebanon though all know it shall not. Is it any wonder that so many in that part of the world turns to the terrorists for leadership?
“Is this what the international community calls self-defense? Is this the price we pay for aspiring to build our democratic institutions?”
More terror and hatred to follow. America has failed once again to be the paragon of justice it has always claimed to be. The International Community is actively failing in its roles, responsibilities and even it’s morality every passing second it fails to order a screeching halt to Lebanon’s vicious razing.
Terror shall not win? It’s won, friends and neighbors, by reducing Lebanon to rubble, the Israeli leadership to animals, America to a dim-witted cheerleader and the international community to mewling lapdogs.
Shame. One and all. Again. Damn you.

Your MetaNews Moment: I can easily get figures from multiple sources on the innocent Lebanese (300)and Israeli deaths (29) but nothing on the Palestinians in Gaza. Come to think of it, we see reports from Lebanon and Israel every night all night on the news and nothing on Palestine. Has the violence stopped over there? No? Yet, no news. Interesting.
