Not that i disagree with you but Canadian citizens are no more important than the rest of the people getting killed.

Are you directing that question to me? I don't have an answer and I agree with what you said. My issue is that it was the poorest choice of word that Harper could have possibly used.

actually Condaleza Rice is making great strides in bringing the two sides together.

Lebanese can move north, just like Israelis can move south to get out of harms way (trust me, I was just in the middle east on a mission and you do not have to be in the crossfire), but they insist on letting Hezbulah fire rockets from there homes with them in them. You have to be pretty stupid to do that knowing that the Israelis are using GPS smart bombs that are fired to the exact location where the bomb departed from.
I'm not talking political who is right or wrong, I just dont have much sympathy for the innocent people who are making a concious effort to stay in harms way...on both sides
As far as social services go, the Lebanese government should be restructured so that they dont depend on terrorists to fund the country.
And you comment about Jews not commiting terrorist attacks on Germany because the States do it...Yah your right sorry, I always hear of Americans running into public places in Germany with bombs attached to themselves.
If you look at the entire area (as I said earlier, I just got back from a mission in the middle east) you would notice that Iraq, Palestine, all these places look like shit (except where the very few wealthy live) while Israel is lush, thriving and honestly beautiful. Some places just refuse to advance. And then spend all there time blaming others why rather then making changes.
"terrorists" fund every country. It only depends on how you define the term "terrorist". Simply because Hezbullah is a terrorist group according to Bush and friends doesn't mean that they don't do more good than bad. In the eyes of those on the opposite side, Isreal might be considered a terrorist nation based on your definition. It's all a matter of perspective.
