[LynnTheDem]

The missiles destroyed several homes in the village of Qana as people were sleeping. Rescue officials said at least 56 people were killed, and the bodies of 27 children were found in the rubble.

"It's hard to understand Israel's tactics" said bLiar's Jack Straw.

2. "Israel's tactics" are not hard to understand....

It's classic collective punishment of civilian populations, as in "round up the mayor and 10 villagers and shoot them in the square. Kill ten randomly chosen people for every act of resistance."

4. Vietnam comes to mind, as well.

Destroy the village to save the village.

No, we never learn.

5. Every U.S. senator supports it. Time to change that.

A call for solidarity and a new foreign policy.

6. "When you sleep with missiles, sometimes you don't wake up in the

morning." So sayeth the slimy Israeli ambassador to the UN just now on C-Span at the emergency security council meeting.
