One thousand and counting
Do I need to tell you that's how many Lebanese have died at Israeli hands in the past four weeks or so?
While in Italy, I saw a news report on CNN. A Lebanese citizen standing in the rubble of his hometown was saying that he will not move, and that -- get this -- the Israelis, Americans, and British will not make him change his mind.
Makes you proud, doesn't it, to be right up there on the shitlist of a normal workaday man? You Americans for providing bombs and general support to Israel, and we British for allowing US planes to transport bombs to Israel and for not demanding an immediate ceasefire and for not standing up to that prick Bush.
Citizens of Lebanon and of Lebanese heritage, know this: It's not in my name.

You never see the politicians fighting on the frontlines do you?
Well Deep Sloat, I don't agree with you. War often ends because of anhilation sure...OR
...it ends because the parties just get worn out...or when a country stops being occupied the war usually ends too.
Saying thisgs like "they started it" is a really sad fucking excuse to take sides. It's gone long past "they started it".
Everyone should demand a ceasefire and not only that but use our imaginations to find a way to put pressure on these people to stop. If they are going to use childrens arguments to keep fighting, then maybe they should be disiplined by taking away their toys...
er ah...their "allowance".
p.s. um sheesh Asterisk, when I read the first line of this post, I thought you were announcing your 1,000th post and I was gonna faint.
This war is a media one and as long as Israel use their current tactics they will be the losers
It's like I have to say something when I read emails and posts my "foreign" friends send me, or publish on their blogs. But really I find myself most of the time speechless.
We know that the actions and the discourses of Bush and Blair are not those of the U.S and the U.K.
thank you for your support... it helps.
I didn't know who George Galloway was... check this if you have time. (9mins)
I have to admit he is very pragmatic. even I don't agree with everything he advanced. but here it is:

I'm just waiting for 2008 - although I can't believe a new president, republican or democrat can single-handedly fix all the problems Bush has caused, it will just be a breath of fresh air.
I honestly think sometimes that we're just on this slippery slope to hell, ha.
Nobody really wins. Ever. Victories are always temporary. That's why it's all such a waste of life.
DS: To be fair, I don't think the Lebanese have let a bunch of murderers rise to power. And Israel was created, essentially, from land taken from other countries. So I can understand the local non-Jews being aggrieved. What's more, Israel then began occupying land beyond their own borders. They haven't exactly been good neighbours themselves, have they?!
Tanya: Nope. They're too important, you see (!).
Candy: Stop paying our taxes, that's how to remove these people's allowance. But it has to be a global, perfectly organized stand.
Shamash: Agreed.
_z.: Thanks. This whole thing really makes me angry. I'm surprised at quite how much, I must say.
Adam: Change of face, but same old same old, I suspect...
4D: A waste of life is exactly what it is.
