Building Bridges

The UN builds them, the Israelis blow them up. But that’s okay, because the Lebanese are terrorists and the Israelis are heros:
Lebanese officials said there were many reports of other casualties throughout southern Lebanon but rescue workers were not able to reach the sites because of continued Israeli airstrikes. Israel also threatened to attack UN peacekeepers if they attempted to repair bomb-damaged bridges in southern Lebanon. UN officials contacted the Israeli army to inform them that a team of Chinese military engineers attached to the UN force in Lebanon intended to repair the bridge on the Beirut to Tyre road to enable the transport of humanitarian supplies.
According to the UN, Israeli officials said the engineers would become a target if they attempted to repair the bridge.
Senior UN officials reacted angrily to the destruction of a temporary causeway over the Litani river overnight. “We must be able to have movement throughout the country to deliver supplies. At this point we can’t do that,” said David Shearer, the humanitarian coordinator for Lebanon. “The deliberate targeting of civilian infrastructure is a violation of international law.”
Animals.
last night on keith they showed doctors without borders trying to get supplies in. they had a human chain passing the boxes hand to hand over a river. they were told that they would be targeted by israel for delivering aid but they were doing it anyway. they are true heroes.
it was kinda funny though to see that they were there in shorts and t shirts and the reporter was in helmet and flak jacket.
Maybe if Dubya makes Lieberman Secretary of
Defense, Joe can straighten all this out.
God help the Lebanese people.
I want to donate to some people who are rebuilding the bridges that the Israelis destroyed. Does anyone know of any groups that are doing that? (Excluding terrorist groups).
