The casualty figures in lebanon are actually very low--793. I assume that that doesnt include hizbolla. In any case, the isrealis being careful gets them little credit. See the pics of complete devastation of the south and an ordinary person doesnt see that they were careful. And the fact that hizbolla hides behind baby carriages gets no notice because the carnage in general appears to be all made in israel. Makes it very hard for moral folks to fight wars carefully and get credit for that. I hate the word assymetric but i suppose we will have it around for a long time.

Prediction if careful israel gets no credit for being careful and thats clear on this thread, it is more likely that in next war they wont be so careful. Same if there is another successful al quaeda attack here. One day, gloves will come off and that wont be good either.
