1. Pro Israel...but I don't see need for these cluster bombs.
Rich ,   USA   (11.24.06)
This is a tough one. I am tempted to write: This seems a needless an unwarranted tragedy. Israel simply should not have done this, it seem unconscionable...sort of like napalm and 'agent orange' in Vietnam for the U.S. military. There needs to be some real housecleaning at the IDF, as this Lebanon fiasco is turning into the most serious defeat for Israel from many perspectives. Using such weapons which continue to kill and maim indiscriminately seems a terrible mistake. The least Israel can do is provide medical and financial assistance...I assume they will offer. On the other hand...the Lebanese people in the South have apparently mostly sided with a group of terrorists which intentionally kill and maim innocent Israeli civilians and want to destroy Israel. You lie down with dogs, can you complain when you wake up with fleas? War is indeed hell. I feel very badly for any Lebanese civilians...those injured may not have a lot of choice in the matter. If I lived in such an area, I would like to think I would have moved out of harms way long ago...but then things always seem much simpler from afar. The real tragedy is the Lebanese probably are unwilling to accept any blame or complicity...so they won't change their behaviour, and in fact will be motivated by religous animosity and a desire for revenge to align themselve more closely with the very people who are really responsible for their plight. So sad, so very sad. These so called experts though should have known better than to go running into a compromised area.

3. Since cease fire 172 lebanese civilian causalties occured
fadi ,   lebanon   (11.24.06)
due to unexploded cluster bombs .. so blame urself israel when katyushas start to fall down on north israel!
4. Fadi does not say the truth
Honry   (11.25.06)
172 casualties ? why not 1720 ? Where are the proofs, Fadi ???? the proofs !!!!
5. Did have the proper training ?
I wonder   (11.25.06)
The security officials said Aldiers and Brasic ran into the field after a herd of goats that had strayed into it detonated a cluster bomb and they themselves stepped on another one. That kind of behavior is carelessness not that from a mine clearing expert.
6. So thank hezbullah fadi - they are responsible!
Arie ,   Afula   (11.24.06)

9. To the Clueless and Naive Fadi
Palo ,   Detriot, USA   (11.25.06)
You think the world is stupid. You can not silence the truth. It is like the light in the darkness. Liberty can not be stopped. You are pretty clueless and naïve. You mention nothing of who started the mess. You mention nothing about Iranian persecution of their Jewish, Christian, women, and other minority groups. You mention nothing about Hezbollah, Iran and Syria murdering the Lebanese minister last week or the hundreds of innocent Lebanese who are killed daily by the Hezbollah in their attempts to silence opposition. You mention nothing of the many Lebanese children starving today in the streets, because your Hezbollah has been stealing the Arab reconstruction and food money to fill their Swiss bank accounts like Arafat and Hamas did. Just remember something, Lebanon will never be a great free country again until it’s stands up for itself and kicks out the Hezbollah, Iranian and Syrian influences. Quit hiding on your knees under your Iranian master’s skirt and be a real man for a change. Stand up for a free Lebanon.
