More than 54 civilians, at least 34 of them children, have been killed in a town in south Lebanon in the deadliest Israeli strike of the conflict so far.
As we all know, because Bush told us so, while explaining the lack of urgency in getting a cease fire:
And secondly, it's really important for people to understand that terrorists are trying to stop the advance of freedom, and therefore, it's essential that we do what's right and not necessarily what appears to be immediately popular.
and, as we all know, because we were told so by the Israeli minister of justice (!!!!), this is a perfectly justified step in the war on terror:
Everyone in southern Lebanon is a terrorist and is connected to Hizbollah.
If people remembered past last week, they would recall the name of the village where this happened, Qana
Qana, southern Lebanon - It was a massacre. Not since Sabra and Chatila had I seen the innocent slaughtered like this. The Lebanese refugee women and children and men lay in heaps, their hands or arms or legs missing, beheaded or disembowelled. There were well over a hundred of them. A baby lay without a head. The Israeli shells had scythed through them as they lay in the United Nations shelter, believing that they were safe under the world's protection. Like the Muslims of Srebrenica, the Muslims of Qana were wrong.
