It figures. Another fringe leftist buying into Hizbullah propaganda just as easily as it does phoney DNC Talking Points.

Yes, it does look like Qana was manipulated but that is hardly the only case where innocents civilians were killed. Of course, that won't stop you from not hearing those other cases or assuaging any guilt feelings you might have by remembering the Qana manipulation by Hezbollah.

Whether you want to recognize it or not, a very bad thing was done in Lebanon during the past month. Many people were killed or injured and billions of dollars of destruction were inflicted upon the country.

Trust me when I tell you that Israel gained little from this horrific exercise in futility. It created more opposition in Lebanon to its existence and the rest of the Muslim world, it elevated Nasrallah to exalted status and Israel came away looking like it was bested by a relatively small [by comparison] militia.

I am coming to believe more and more that this conflict was the beginning of Israel's undoing.
