>Why did Israel drop leaflets telling Lebanese citizens to flee? To display to the world the little bit of restraint they do use. If the civilians don't flee (and we saw during Katrina how hard it is for poor people to leave home), will Israel still invade? >How many leaflets did Hezbollah drop on Haifa before launching rockets in that direction? Just because Israel behaves slightly better than Hezbollah doesn't mean they're good or right. -Z

"How many leaflets did Hezbollah drop on Haifa before launching rockets in that direction?" This assumes a tit for tat. Hezbollah fires an unaimable rocket at a population center, hoping they'll hit something and kill some people. Probably 1 out of ten rockets succeeds. Israel responds with a precision air strike using the best weaponry in the world - OURS, and destroys an entire apartment block, EVERY time. Israel is destroying Lebanon, while the actual damage in Israel is trivial. Count the bodies. Count the buildings destroyed.
