> I am also hugely irritated that this is at the expense of the Canadian Taxpayer, and not at the expense of those needing to be brought out. I see Lebanese Canadian people whose families have been killed while on vacation for no valid reason, basically murdered, and the PM has not lifted a finger to condemn it. Who should be paid to evacuate people because Israel is raining down death and destruction? Shouldn't Israel be paying? Will Israel ever be made to pay, or will they only be appeased?

I totally agree with you about paying towards their rescue. US citizens have to pay. Probably a good number of them quietly support the Hisbollah anyway. I was equally irritated about the criticism of the Canadian govt, 40,000 is a lot of bodies and many ships worth. I'm amazed they got so many ships anyway what with summer cruises underway. I expect that the boats will be pretty crummy, watch for it, they will be compalining about conditions on board the ships next.
