A Few Words About the Dead


See the bulldozer pictured here? This is how they are burying the dead in Lebanon; in part, because there are so many victims. Some 16 were killed in an Israeli airstrike in just one town.

I had to look through 11 different U.S. papers before I heard of any Lebanese dead whatsoever, although all of the 11 talked about the five precious lives lost in Israel to Hezbollah rockets. Both races' lives are precious... so why does America largely document only one? If you think the only Lebanese dead are Hezbollah guerillas, think again. I doubt the babies and the children under ten, under five years of age are armed Hezbollah fighters although they are, indeed, just as dead.
