"Lebanon Estimates 600 Civilian Deaths"
While this is a sad thing there are two things the media doesn't take into account when reporting this.
1) This is a war. Civilians will get injured and killed. There is no avoiding this.
2) Hezbollah still has not come out to fight an open war. They still hide in their bunkers and put weapon caches under or near schools, hospitals, mosques and civilian houses. Israel has been more than generous by warning the Lebanese to evacuate before they begin a strike.
The bunkers that are "in the open" are forty feet or more beneath the ground and the Israelis cannot reach that far with their missiles. How 'bout the US selling (or giving)the Israelis some of our MOAB missiles, which will get the job done. After all, if they keep this up, the U.S. will have one less terrorism network to deal with later. And besides we owe them for the killing of 241 marines in 1983.
