Electronic Lebanon

Electronic Lebanon, by the same people who brought us Electronic Intifada, is entirely dedicated to following the current crisis.

Just what we need, another website devoted to keeping people killing each other.

I wonder if soldiers and their leaders would want to fight each other if they sit in front of their enemy, unarmed and show pictures of each other's families, sharing stories about life at home...

Josh Scholar, you're a moron. Check out the site, it collects info about the Lebanese crisis. It's against the war.

Hi
Anyone know how I can get hold of Josh Stacher's email address?
Thanks

I like Shachar's point. I was googling for E.L. and came upon this page (which helped, btw, thank you). As for the prior posters distraction, most of the unhelpful people I've met coudl not and perhaps are incapable of grasping their futility any more than they can grasp the misinformation they have regurgitated. If there is compassion for the sick, the futile deserve it because they are mentally compromised, and more precisely, they can't reckognize it.

If you threw all Arab weapons into the sea, then there would be peace in the middle east. If you threw all Israeli weapons into the sea instead, then there would be genocide.

I'm a mother of 4...I'm retired now..and very tired too...very tired of running away during these 5 wars which hit Lebanon during the past 30 years....wish President W. Bush Jr. and his father experience wat we're going through in this country...are we a soccer field for their Foreign Policy? First Bush Sr alows the Syrians to enter Lebanon in exchange of their support for his first Iraq War..they occupy Lebanon for 29 years, create and strengthen Hisbollah with Iran's financial help, then Bush Jr comes along chases the Syrians out ...supports our democratic governemtn and within one year he expects it to disarm Hizbollah...sometimes I wonder if these leaders have an inkling of what they're doing....ENOUGH ENOUGH playing football with Lebanon...let us live..where are your human rights philosophies? how can Israel besiege a whole nation, impose collective punishment on all the Lebanese...all I can say is that I hope one day all these leaders will experience what Lebanon has gone through and I will stand by watching their plight as they are doing now
