Ouch.

Great. Where are the similar photos out of Darfur, out of Chechnya, out of Burma? I'll tell you: Nobody gives a fuck about people in places like that.

No kidding US television news on the Levant is censored. But this censorship goes far beyond the war in Lebanon.

You rising intersting point.Why do you think its happens?

[Nono]

Sorry to disappoint you, shrike, but the world's attention is fixed on the Middle East for this reason: oil. (Another oustanding example of mass civilian killing -- hundreds of thousands of people in fact -- that is almost totally ignored by the West is in the so-called "Democratic Republic of the Congo". Monstrous and ghastly.)

None of this lets Israel off the moral hook for its excessive -- and cowardly -- campaign that has killed so many innocents from the safety of the air.

Shame on you.

Africa is too rich with the resources. So its still didn't answer my question. Also I/A is not about oil as far as I understand that.

Well there have been similar pictures out of Isreal for years, lets look at the bus bombings lets look at the children slaughterd in the holocaust look at all the hate and killing of Isrealis then ask yourself is this measured.

[Nono]

So shield, you -- a cop (ex-cop?) -- are saying that we can all simply ignore the law and slide down to the level of anyone who does us wrong.

Correct?

Sorry for late response - I was too busy to visit the web.
Darfur - it is also for Oil . The area has vast oil deposit and so Zanzabi's are trying to grab it while the west is trying to support the popular movement. People are dyeing en masse because of this dirty war. I don't have any such letters with me - if I had one I would have posted .

Chechnya - again Oil. The Russians are trying to slaughter the whole nation only to grab the oil and land ( to control the central Asean oil deposit transit pipeline ).

Burma - There's no such killings , I hope. It's being ruled by a terrible regime but the regime is not so brutal ( maniacal ) as the Israeli's. They are driving out the Muslims , systematically destroying their earning scopes. Here, in Bangladesh, we have huge refugees from Burma and the Mullahs are exploiting their anger .

But you see, in almost all the conflicts - Muslims are suffering because of oil or strategic control ( Kashmir ).

D.R. Congo , Rwanda - I don't know how to explain the pain while watching BBC reports . These reports must be mandatory to watch by all - too see the effect of our consumerism , our lust for luxury .

These letters - if those were from Hezbullah ; I'm sure CNN / FOX would have showing them every 5 minutes interval.

The Burmese regime is far worse than the Israeli government -- far more blood on its hands from far more victims. We just don't care about them is all.

Please can you give me a link in this regard?
I know the regime is destroying blocks after blocks to remake the cities ( copying the Chinese ) , Aung sun suchi is imprisoned but not that much as it sounds.
We are neighbors to Burma , I have a friend ( pro democracy student leader , fled the country to avoid torture and prison ) whom I managed to get Bangladeshi citizenship - he never told me such brutal atrocities !
Also, I think the democracy in Burma might not work - other than Suchi, most of them may not be capable enough to run it towards prosperity. The regime too failed to bring prosperity even though it has huge land, gas and oil, minerals and tourism prospect.

Here's one.

Burma (I appreciate and admire the way a lot of organizations, including the BBC, refuse to call it Myanmar) looks like a hopeless mess. One factor is its hodge-podge of ethnic groups ruled over by the ruthless Burmans.

Yet until the early Sixties it was considered the potentially wealthiest country in Asia.

I found the Burmese are less horrific than Israelis.
The regime looks pretty much like the maniacs ( Idi Amin or so ) but they are not as blood thirsty as the Isarelis.

First it is ex-cop and this is self defense, if Isreal lets anyone get away with anything it is more open season on Isrealis they have to have a no tolerance policy, they unlike US are surrounded by their enemies who have showed no restraint in the past from attacking them and the global community is not on their side and doesn't stop them from attacking Isreal.
