On the Tele we saw Israeli photos from satellite showing
exactly where the Israel bombardment was concentrated
and exactly from where the Lebanese missiles were fired.
I did not know the Israelis had a satellite! They don't!

Did the US help the Israelis to those pictures and did the US help the Israelis to aim correctly?
IF so. That is an act of war! The US is actively help attacking Lebanese civilians and killing innocent children.
Right?!

We are so prone to use the "blame-game" in analysis of any human situation, trying to identify who is "guilty" and shoot them. However, human systems are much more complex than this simplistic idea of “guilty” and “innocent”. Some years ago among those who worked with human-interaction contexts, such as organizations, there was a push to create “systems-think.” Systems theory and practice is a serious force in scientific thinking. A 1950 paper by Ludwig von Bertalanffy is considered a seminal work as well as the 1938 work of W. Koehler, The Place of Values in the World of Fact. Our global community is much more complex than the simple finger-pointing demonstrates. Yet, we continue to find it difficult to move away from find the “villain” rather than sharing responsibility for the “mess” we are observing. It is like the marital conflict or a conflict between two partners in a firm. Each participate has participated in building the human interactive system in which contains the clash. Every nation involved in these current conflicts (note the plural) share responsibility for the havoc that is continuing at this very moment. There are no angelic members; we have ALL participated in creating this chaos and we will all suffer because of it. The same is true with global warming. Therefore, it is ALL of us who are responsible to do our part to change the tide before it drowns us all.

Since I believe that every death/injury in war is a war crime and since USA/Israel kill/injure about ten of them to every one of us killed/injured, this indicates that USA/Israel are about ten times as guilty as their opponents are.

A conflict that has been going on for ages.

I tend to agree with Mr. Smith. However, it is hard to find solutions when the parties do not want them, especially Israel, which has scorned Nasrallah's offer for a ceasefire. Apparently, Olmert and the chiefs of staff are burning for a revenge. Yes, we should think of solutions and we the people should exercise people's power to "convince" the parties.

Dr. Q is correct, in my view, that it is hard to find solutions when parties within the system do not want them or have trust to participate. This still requires deep analysis of "why" one would not want a solution. We have seen it in business partnerships and organizatons as well as marital. That party looks like the "guilty party", but when closer examination occurs one finds that it has a participatory aspect by both sides at some point. This is not to allow any party to escape responsibility - we are all responsible. And, like current situatons, it is very difficult to do this and very difficult to get the parties involved even to consider doing this. To have parties in conflict to "stand on the balcony" takes a real commitment. Do any of the involved parties, including our own national leaders (and our history) really are willing to work toward that end? They may say they do, but when money, power, and valued resources - such as oil - are at stake, there are many internal and external forces present that are counter productive to any type of systems analysis and shared responsiblities.

What people are forgetting about is the fact that suicide bombers have been killing innocent Israelis for year's. The Hezbollah use their own civilians as human sheilds, they have cushioned their own people by providing better necessities of life. This in fact fuels the people of Lebannon to support the Hezbollah's terrorist tactics. This is a cleaver maneuver of the Hezobollah with their neanderthal qualities to seduce a people that have little to live for and ignite an uprising around the world. Religion is the demise of the world we all live in today.

We I guess Israel and US is not looking for ceasefire because they think they have the big guns and they will win by hitting the Arabs hard. The Hezbollahs thinking is that the longer the fight the better chances of them winning it. At least in the Arab countries point of view if not the West because they have stood up to Israelis. The reason Mr.Nasrallah offered the ceasefire is becuase his country is getting damaged and his people are dying more than the Israelis. I think what would bring the US and Israelis to the table is two things. First if the Israelis casualties are less and they are gaining on the ground then they will come to the peace table when they see fit. Secondly if the Israelis casualties are high and the distractions gets more and more and they do not gain ground on land then US will propose an immediate ceasefire. So it will all will depend on the Israelis loss and not the Arabs.

the drug trade have a big infuence on hezbollah and sionist war.

If anti-prohibitionism could step on this area, it could help ease the tension.

Also we could look on chiite corporation having spied on israeli industry and vis-versa.

Louise arbour and human rights watch are calling the israeli war criminal.

While ayn rand and atlas shrug are calling arab militia: psychotic drug lord.

We might have a chance bringing these two faction together.

Israel wanted the return of its two soldiers. This is commendable. However,Israel overreacted and started the attack. This is a Man's World. It runs on half a brain. To those who accept the teachings of the Bible, I urge them to take into account in Genesis,"male and female both made He". To have a world run by a whole brain requires the other lobe(female one, of course) Until males are ready and willing to put a stop to preventing women from participating on a level playing field in all policy making universally, we shall all remain in a barbaric thrall. Of course women are not as assertively aggressive as they should be and its going to be a long time, if ever, that we shall see a diminution of the horrors that the fertile male brain is capable of.
