Michael Totten was in southern Lebanon last year. He has a photo gallery of what the place looked like prior to the Israeli action. Not a lot to recommend it, sadly.

Kate,
Thanks for this post. It is beautiful here in Vancouver tonight except for the party boats going up and down the harbour. We are so lucky to enjoy this type of personal and political freedom here in Canada. I wish everyone could understand how good we have it.

REUTERS' HIJACKING LEBANON'S ANSWER TO THE UN?
By Walid Phares

A few hours after a Franco-American draft for a UN Security Council resolution was released, pro-Hezbollah lobbies and allies launched a campaign to hijack the response of Lebanon to the United Nations.

As noted by seasoned observers the campaign started at the top with an alert release by News Agency Reuters written by Lin Noueihed.

The article, put out early Sunday has reached the four corners of the Globe and its title has framed the position of the Lebanese people in a "no" to the UN expected resolution.

Amazingly enough, Lin Noueihid titles her release "Lebanon rejects draft UN resolution."

But when you read the release you realize that the "representative" of all of Lebanon in the eyes of the Reuters reporter is no one other than pro-Syrian, Hezbollah ally, Nabih Berri, the leader of Shiite Movement Amal. ...-

The juxtaposition at the border says it all: neat cultivated fields on the Israeli side and wilderness on Lebanon's.

So what's the argument? That the bombing is a form of enforced urban renewal?

40 killed in strike on Lebanese village

yahoo ^
BEIRUT, Lebanon - An Israeli attack on a Lebanese border village killed more than 40 people Monday, the prime minister said, raising the day's death toll to 55 in heavy fighting between Israel and Hezbollah guerrillas despite efforts toward a cease-fire. Prime Minister Fuad Saniora repeatedly broke into tears as he disclosed the attack during opening remarks at a meeting of Arab League foreign ministers in Beirut. He appealed to fellow Arab states to help a nation "stunned" by a nearly four-week Israeli onslaught that has devastated Lebanon's infrastructure and left hundreds of civilians dead. Saniora said the attack occurred...

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
