I was going to write a few lines on Tuesday, as it was the 10th anniversary of the Qana Massacre. Israel bombed a United Nations camp in South Lebanon saying there were “terrorists” hiding there, but they only succeeded in killing over 100 innocent people. I mentioned this a few months ago when we went to Qana.
However, since Tuesday, Ethan has either been on the computer where the photos are, or the internet has been down, or I have been too tired/lazy to muster it. You can read Robert Fisk’s account of the aftermath, if you are interested.
UPDATE: Speaking of April 18, it is also the anniversary of the US Embassy bombing here in Beirut in 1983, possibly by early-era Hezbollah.

I wonder if people will ever learn that revenge is not the answer. I think it was Einstein that said, “An eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind.”
