    In the entire history of human civilization, show me one instance where civilians have escaped the violence of war. Look at the last 4000 years in the very spot we are talking about. It is a micrcosm for the real nature of mankind. Arguing the relative morality of the participants is ludicrous.

    Death and destruction!, ho hum another day on planet Earth.

    Apparently that is the only paragraph ~ then posted (rather out of context) with the purpose of winning an internet argument with a twist of semantics.

    I wasn't trying to win anything. How is it out of context? It claims that just about everyone there supports Hezbollah. I really don't know and thought that is what the article is stating. Are most of the civilians who have been killed supporters of Hezbollah? (besides the children even though they could be becuase that's how they were raided)

    Kind of like saying everyone in Iraq supported Saddam before the war ~ 99% vote count can't be wrong.

    I guess, but this was from an article defending the citizens and attacking Israel.
