Eyewitness: Mass burial in Lebanon

http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/meast/07/29/btsc.perry/index.html


Eight days ago, the Lebanese Army buried 87 bodies in a mass grave in the city of Tyre. Today, they are laying another 34 in the ground.

Children are beginning to gather. It is images such as these that pass down a hatred of Israel to another generation.

Without having to count, it's clear that more members of the international press are here than bodies being buried. Journalists were asked to come here to witness the collected horror.

A Shiite sheik arrives and begins talking to members of the media. I pull him aside and ask him one question: "What message would you send to the people of America?" "Israel?" he asks. "No," I reply. "America."

"I love the people of America. It's the government I hate. Tell the American people that we received their gift. The missile that they gave to Israel - we have received it, and this is the result," he says, motioning to the coffins.

2. The two most corrupt governments on the face of the earth
supporting each other in their war crimes.

I'd like to punch old Lee Greenwood in the mouth.
