re: Now it's being spread Hezbollah blew the building up.

What sick sites are you reading now?

re: You do remember the value of women in a lot of middle east countries?

Do you remember women used to be able to wear western clothes in Baghdad? Not any more. Hell, they can't leave their homes, and are not even safe there.

QANA, Lebanon Jul 30, 2006 (AP)— Israeli missiles crushed several buildings where Lebanese villagers were sleeping Sunday, killing at least 56 people, more than half of them children, in the deadliest attack of the campaign against Hezbollah.

Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice decided to return early to Washington with her diplomatic mission derailed after Lebanese leaders told her not to come.

Lebanon's prime minister said his country would not talk to the Americans about anything but an unconditional cease-fire. Rice, in Jerusalem for talks with Israeli officials, said she was "deeply saddened by the terrible loss of innocent life" but stopped short of calling for an immediate end to the hostilities, saying: "We want a cease-fire as soon as possible."


Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert expressed "great sorrow" for the airstrikes but blamed Hezbollah guerrillas for using the area to launch rockets at Israel. Before news of the strike emerged, Olmert told Rice that Israel likely would fight on for another 10-14 days.

Later, Olmert and Rice discussed the conditions for a cease-fire, including the proposed deployment of an international force there, an official said on condition of anonymity because the talks were private.

The United States has resisted world pressure to call for a halt to the fighting, saying it wants first to ensure a deal is in place that will eliminate Hezbollah guerrillas from Israel's border and bring an international force to southern Lebanon.

The missiles struck just after 1 a.m., leveling a three-story building in Qana where two extended families, the Shalhoubs and Hashims, had taken refuge in the basement from heavy Israeli bombardment in the area. Throughout the day, rescue workers dug through the rubble, lifting out bodies dressed in colorful clothes of women and children. At one point they found a single room with 18 bodies, police said.

"Why are they killing us? What have we done?" screamed Khalil Shalhoub, who was helping pull out the dead until he saw his brother's body taken out on a stretcher. The dead included at least 34 children and 12 adult women, security officials said.
