I don't mean to intrude on your guys' little 'righteous indignation' love-fest, but the area was being used for military purposes by Hezbullah, and it's apparently on video: rockets being fired from the immediate vacinity of the building they blew up. Fox News has been showing it all morning, and while the IDF is still working to confirm it's the same place, there is no doubt that rockets ARE being fired from SOME civilian location, and this is hardly a new tactic on the part of terrorists.
If true, then the people to blame for this outrage is Hezbullah. Or is there some rule in the combat book that says if the enemy is firing on you from civilian locations, you're supposed to just take it and grin? Or is it somewhere written down that you are free from return fire and indeed morally superior as long as you use civilian locations to launch deadly attacks on an enemy? I know it's real popular to bash the Israelis, but where is the outrage when the head-hackers are actually to blame? Instead of snide comments about the meaning of words in the dictionary, how about a little common sense for a change? - Bob ! -----Original Message----- ! From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] !
