Although it is inconceivable to the black&white rightwingers, both sides in a conflict can be wrong at the same time, at different times or at all times. So, for what the US spends blowing up people in Iraq over 2-3 days, we could get this area back on its feet and gain tremendous PR. Why aren't we doing it? alertnet.org

The scale of Hezbollah's attacks on Israeli cities, towns and villages, the indiscriminate nature of the weapons used, and statements from the leadership confirming their intent to target civilians make it all too clear that Hezbollah violated the laws of war," Amnesty International's Secretary General Irene Khan said in a comment on the report. Of course, if one Mr. Hassan Fadlallah had a brain in is skull, he would tell Amnesty International that Hezbullah would happily exchange all of there unguided rockets for ones with GPS guidance, even being willing to take a 10-20% hit in warhead size as part of the bargain, and henceforth, would be in a much better position to comply with the applicable treaties.
