Escalation of Lebanese Crisis

The bloggers are still talking:

From Beirut to the Beltway:
“Nasrallah is mad, arrogant and is gambling away the country. The Israeli “response” is criminal, disproportionate and is basically doing the bidding of Syria and Iran.
As for the Bush administration, what a shame. They have just allowed their mad ally destroy Lebanon’s potential to become a thriving democracy.”

Rants and Rambles:
How is it that an entire country is being brought down to the knees and the world is silent? How is it that years of work and toil and sweat and billions of dollars spent on rebuilding Beirut and its Lebanon, all go down the drain in a mere 24 hours of bombs and shelling?
How is that war has broken out so easily and still we continue?

Rampurple:
“It tears me apart to see Lebanon being torn up once again and it scares me to even think that Lebanon may return to it’s ugly years. Lebanon had just started to bloom and people were starting to feel secure. People almost forgot what it’s like to wake up one day and witness your plans being torn away. People almost forgot what it feels like to continuously worry if a loved one will return home today, or how your life could only be a second longer than it is now.”

Lebanese Political Journal:
“If Israel’s bombing doesn’t stop now, they will only further empower Hezbollah. If any Lebanese politician rises up against Hezbollah, that means civil war. It means that politician will be a target for assassination by Syrian agents. It means that whatever community does rise up against Hezbollah will be massacred because Hezbollah has all the weapons. The other militias were disarmed. Not even the Lebanese military could combat Hezbollah.”

Body on the Line:
I am so sorried about the people in Ghaza and Lebanon. I’ve been glued to Al Manar and Al Jazeera tv as much as possible or checking the news on the internet. I am appalled by the devastation the Israeli Occupation Forces are causing in the north and the south.

The screenshot above is from the CNN main page. The area which I have highlighted in yellow is where they mention an Israeli woman and her grandson got killed and they have it as an important point. Yet they don’t mention the fact that over 60 people in Lebanon (including 2 Kuwaitis) have also been killed. I don’t mind CNN being biased but they shouldn’t make it that obvious…
