Another success

For George W. Bush's "treat the world like a snowglobe" strategy. Encouraging the Isreali's to act against Hizbollah from the safety of using air power.

As almost always, throughout the last century, if that's the only real plan, it fails -- and fails spectacularly:

QANA, Lebanon (Reuters) - An Israeli air strike killed at least 40 Lebanese civilians, including 23 children, on Sunday, prompting Lebanon to tell U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice she was unwelcome in Beirut before a ceasefire.

Hundreds of protesters chanting "Death to Israel, Death to America" stormed the U.N. headquarters in Beirut, even though witnesses said Hizbollah officials tried to discourage them.

Rice, who plans to stay on in Israel, said she was deeply saddened by the air raid on the southern village of Qana, but stopped well short of calling for an immediate ceasefire.

It was the bloodiest single attack during Israel's 19-day-old war on Hizbollah guerrillas.

Fair or not (and in this case it is quite fair) Isreal's war crimes, be they sins of omission or commission are ours -- they are our surrogates at least as much as Hizbollah is claimed to be Irans by Clusterfuck McBunnypants.
