Why do you say this? Most people I speak with on the subject think the war was a tragedy, but acknowledge that Israel has to try to destroy an armed militia on its border that periodically attacks it and is dedicated to Israel's destruction.


When an Israeli strike killed children in Kfar Kana, what hit the front pages, pictures of dead babies and stories of Israeli brutality, or questions about Hizbullah's placement of rocket launchers among civilians and its readiness to stage photos for propaganda?

The second did happen a little, but the first happened faster, and 1000 times more, esp. in European and Arab media.

That's why I say this.
