A voice of sanity from Lebanon. From one of the leaders of the Lebanese effort to rid itself of Syrian troops:

“The losses are immeasurable,” said Nayla Moawad, the Lebanese minister for social affairs.

Ms. Moawad blamed Syria for setting off the crisis, saying that she was expressing her personal opinion. “The decision of the Hezbollah operation was not taken in Lebanon,” she said. “Lebanon was taken a hostage, a mailbox of other people’s interests. It has been taken in Damascus, probably with an Iranian coordination.”



Syria and Iran need to be "talked" to by the world in a very stern manner. They have ignited a humanitarian disaster. This brushfire is spreading. North Korea at least affords a little time. These matters need to be dealt with right now. Russia and China should step up to the plate now. If they dont, other avenues of pressure on Iran and Syria need to start NOW... or we will see this crap all over again... Massive numbers of innocent people left without homes or water because terrorist roaches live in their neighborhood. This is an opportunity to rid a small region of terrorists. This is not on the magnitude of what has happened in Africa because of ethnic hatred. But by the time this ends shame and blame on Iran and Syria.
Gaza will now provide the example. Israel is planning a clean sweep. Any citizens with ammunition stored or rockets are asked to get rid of them now.

And now to Gaza:

The Qassam Brigades is the Palestinians’ largest and best organized militant group but it is not the only militia operating in the area under Palestinian control. At least six other armed groups field soldiers to fight Israel or, when there are no Israelis to fight — as was the case for nine months after Israel’s withdrawal from Gaza last year — to fight among themselves.



This is what the Israelis face everyday.
