When you destroy a nation's infrastructure, you create a diaspora.
Plain and simple. This morning on Washington Journal, Pedro read an article in which it was reported that 95% of Lebanon's industry is unable to function. Last night KO, I believe, reported that Lebanon was unreachable by road now and that humanitarian assistance cannot be brought in. This means that people will need to come out overland. First, to escape, they become targets (remember that we can't tell the Hezbollah from the civilians, no matter what their age or gender). Second, it will be extremely difficult for them to go back for quite some time. And the spoils will go to ????. And will we have another people endlessly repeating "Next year in..."

The total destruction of Lebanon is a disgraceful act, as is the US' destruction of Iraq.

Israel resulting in death during the five years before 7/12.

Nor, did they launch any fatal rocket attacks that killed civilians. In border skirmishes, Israeli military losses were less than 25.

So, how are they getting what they deserve and how is this proportionate?

When you create refugees, you create terrorists. You should understand that.

2. A Con man always tells you the opposite of what is intended.
The Israeli ambassador says they want a strong and prosperous Lebanon as a neighbor.
We report - you decide.

8. Locking per I/P guidelines
