The war is on in full swing. A public opinion poll at Sky News reveals that 83% people supports Israel's attack on Lebanon. There is an interesting discussion going on in Winds of Change blog whether Israel was right to bomb Beirut instead of Hizbollah strongholds.
"Israel should not have bombed Central Beirut, which was almost monolithically anti-Hezbollah. They should not have bombed my old neighborhood, which was almost monolithically anti-Hezbollah. They should not have bombed the Maronite city of Jounieh, which was not merely anti-Hezbollah but also somewhat pro-Israel.Israelis thinks everyone hates them. It isn't true, especially not in Lebanon. But they will make it so if they do not pay more attention to the internal characteristics of neighboring countries." - Michael J Totten
Israel or Hizbollah whoever was right or wrong for these actions, the kid in Beirut (above left) and more in Haifa did not deserve to die like this. Israeli kids are taking shelter (above right) inside makeshift bunkers to be safe from Hizbollah rockets. What future are we promising these kids?
