John "The Devil" Bolton Says Lebanese Civilian Deaths Not As Tragic As Israeli Civilian Deaths
From the AFP
US Ambassador John Bolton said there was no moral equivalence between the civilian casualties from the Israeli raids in Lebanon and those killed in Israel from "malicious terrorist acts"."I think it would be a mistake to ascribe moral equivalence to civilians who die as the direct result of malicious terrorist acts," he added, while defending as "self-defense" Israel's military action, which has had "the tragic and unfortunate consequence of civilian deaths" [...]
"It's simply not the same thing to say that it's the same act to deliberately target innocent civilians, to desire their deaths, to fire rockets and use explosive devices or kidnapping versus the sad and highly unfortunate consequences of self-defense," Bolton noted.

talking blame...anyone remember the balfor treaty...? that was a big day for undervaluing the lives of many groups in the region - the treaty worked - the region is unstable and foriegn intervention is still needed and will be for...well.. until that rapture thing. and since muslim civilians and terrorists (and jews too?) will be left behind anyway I guess it doesn't matter if they're blown up now. (yeesh, I can't believe I wrote that, heavy sarcasm cloaking my heavy heart...)
