You mean FOX is covering somethings other than 24/7 Shaivo-Jackson? God forbid there should be other news to interrupt their 24 hour re-gurgithon.

With Hizbollah pacified by the Syrians, the Christians are alive, and protected. With the Syrians pissed, and the Hizbollahs pissed in sympathy of their friends, the Christians going to murdered again, by the fanatical Muslims. Do you suppose we should let the Syrian alone so that the Christians would live? No, Christian lives DO NOT COUNT! Just to review; a few hundred Muslims died in Bosnia, we called it ethnic cleansing, and genocide. We went with ALL our force to bomb the Serbs on Easter Sunday. On the other hand, the Muslim Arab government of Sudan is systematically killing MILLIONS of Christian Sudanese, and we don't care! Our born again people are all lathered up over Schiavo, and never shed one tear over the millions of rape, starvation, and helicopter gunship extermination of Christian villages.

It's becoming more clear to the entire world. The Islamist monsters will have to be killed until they stand down. Lebanon is a good point of continuation following Iraq. Then Syria. Then Saudi Arabia. Then the rest. IMO at least 500,000 enemy should be killed. This is WWIV.

Genocide committed in the name of Allah: 3,000,000 Bangladeshi Hindus Killed during the Pakistan-Bangladesh war in 1971. From 1894 to 1896 Abdul Hamid, Sultan of the Ottoman Empire, killed 150,000 Armenian Christians. In India, Sikh Guru Tegh Bahadur along with his disciples was burned to death by the Moghul ruler Aurangzeb in 1675. Another Sikh, Bhai Mati Das was sawn into right and left halves while he was still alive. In July 1974, 4,000 Christians living in Cyprus were killed by Fahri Koroturk, president of Turkey and his Islamic army. From 1843 to 1846 10,000 Assyrian Christians including women and children were massacred by the Muslims. From 1915 to 1918 750,000 Assyrians were killed in the name of Islamic Jihad. In 1933 thousands of Assyrian villagers were murdered by the Iraqi soldiers in Northern Iraq. Since 1990 more than 10,000 Kashmiri Hindus have been brutally murdered by Islamic fundamentalists. Over 280,000 Ugandans killed during the reign of Idi Amin from 1971 to 1979. Over 30,000 Mauritanians have been killed by the Islamic dictators since 1960. In 1980, 20,000 Syrians were murdered under the rule of Hafez Al-Assad, President of Syria. Since 1992 120,000 Algerians have been murdered by the Islamic fundamentalist army

to review; a few hundred Muslims died in Bosnia, we called it ethnic cleansing, and genocide.

Uh, yeah, actually it was 7,000 in one incident (albeit the most deadly) alone.

We went with ALL our force to bomb the Serbs on Easter Sunday.

Oh, geez. You make it sound like we rushed right off and started dropping bombs. In fact we let the Serbs rampage for years and years, and tried multiple other options before using force. And it's not as if the Serbs only attacked Muslims, or Bosnians. Remember Croatia?

The stupidity however was slapping the American/European arms embargo on the Balkans while the Serbs were being well supplied by the Russians. If the Croats, Bosnians, etc had been empowered to defend themselves we never would have needed to get involved.

Some of my friends can testify that I actually called that one way back during the Bush I administration, saying then that the embargo was foolish and was only going to drag out the wars. The imbalance of arms only delayed revelation of the obvious: that the Bosnian Serbs were fatally overextended, trying to grab way to much territory with way too little population, and that Milosovech was an idiot who's stupid wars were all territory losing propositions even without intervention. It's not like our belated involvement changed either of those fundamental facts.

On the other hand, the Muslim Arab government of Sudan is systematically killing MILLIONS of Christian Sudanese, and we don't care!

Have you read a newspaper this decade? The Sudanese are presently killing other Muslims in the West of the country. The fighting between the North and South, which involved Christians, ended something like two years ago (although a formal peace has yet to be completely concluded). You're ranting like we've done nothing about it, and don't care, but in fact ending that war was one of the Bush administration's very first foreign policy initiatives.

No civil war is showing.
The perpetrators are the remnants of the syrian secret services paying back their checks.
The Lebanese people know that they should restrain, for the time being, from doing something foolish, even against these people.
After all, Annan said Syrian President Bashar Assad () confirmed his commitment to the resolution adopted last year (1559) and is "working out a timetable" (for the total withdrawal from Lebanon).
Do you think we should believe Kofi? because believing Assad is out of question.

There is mention in the article about Hezbollah's 500,000 people demonstration. No mention of the 1,000,000 Lebanese demonstration against Syria a few days later! What kind of biased reporting is that?

Good post.

No it wasn't. It was ignorant in the extreme. See my preceding.
