Seems to us that everyone should be questioning the indiscriminate bombing of Lebanon and it's civilian infrastructure.

Military analysts question Israeli bombing - Yahoo! News:

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates - Thousands of Israeli bombs have fallen on Lebanese homes, roads, bridges, ports, broadcasting towers and even a lighthouse.

Nearly 300 people, mainly civilians, have been killed, Lebanon's prime minister said.

Analysts say Israel's targeting of civilian and government infrastructure overshadows its strikes on the offices and rocket launchers of Hezbollah guerrillas, whose capture of two Israeli soldiers triggered the attacks.

'This is a classic strategic bombing campaign,' said Stephen Biddle, a former head of military studies at the U.S. Army War College now at the Council on Foreign Relations. 'What the Israelis are trying to do is pressure others into solving their problem for them, hence the targeting of civilian infrastructure.'

But the growing list of civilian casualties, despite Israel's use of U.S.-designed precision-guided bombs, could turn Arabs and others against the Jewish state and its key ally, the U.S., and still not fatally wound Hezbollah, said military analysts.
