Yet another dreadful war has started in the Middle East and nobody wants to put the fire out. We are heading to the worst as Lebanon is being systematically destroyed. Israeli tanks and troops are entering Lebanon as we speak while Hezbollah is firing rockets back at Israel. The US has sent nine Navy ships to the region to evacuate thousands of Americans from Lebanon. 
Not much pressure from the US on the Israeli government which has a green light from Washington to continue leveling Lebanon for (supposedly) another week while the death toll is rising with no apparent regard. Tourists from all nationalities have fled Lebanon and countless Lebanese citizens are becoming refugees. And after a whole Lebanese-Candadian family was wiped out by Israeli bombs, John Bolton is giving us his wisdom on the value of human life:
…"I think it would be a mistake to ascribe moral equivalence to civilians who die as the direct result of malicious terrorist acts," he added, while defending as "self-defense" Israel's military action, which has had "the tragic and unfortunate consequence of civilian deaths".
…"It's simply not the same thing to say that it's the same act to deliberately target innocent civilians, to desire their deaths, to fire rockets and use explosive devices or kidnapping versus the sad and highly unfortunate consequences of self-defense," Bolton noted.
It is no surprise that Bolton is not keen on the whole international peace force idea either (why should he?) And, let’s also not forget about the gunmen with rocket-launchers who massacred 60 at a market in Baghdad in the middle of the day or the suicide bomber who lured innocent Iraqis with a job offer then took the lives of 59 in Baghdad, but that’s daily news, no emphasis needed here, it is just numbers we are talking about. Then on top of all of this, we have our honored Arab leaders who are fighting among themselves, playing the blame game and uttering total bullshit. Well, gentleman, why hurry or worry, who cares about time? All of you will be sleeping in your far, distant cozy silk embroidered sheets at the end of the night anyways. Let it burn.
It is so great to be home!
Oh, crap, I didn’t mention the “happy people”- the brand of people who are enjoying the crisis and benefiting from it: The war machine and its cronies, the Syrian border guards who will let certain rich tourists go through their border only when they pay in $$$, the Muslim militants who are looking forward to swim in a blood bath, the Christian fundamentalists who are awaiting the end of times and see this as the golden opportunity, the Saudi tourists who, after leaving Lebanon, are looking for another place where they can spend their money on yet another extravagant disgusting vacation, and many many more.
Isn't this a great place?
(And now people, I can safely say that I have done my duty and can go watch some Haifa Wehbe video clips.)
Since when the Al-Zawahiri loves or cares about Lebanon and what happens to it? Seriously, isn’t the Shiite Hezbollah worse than the infidels and the Jews (according to his/their convictions)? But we should cheer for him anyways, the guy and his army of believers will liberate Spain for God’s sake. After all, it’s a noble cause. 
And while we are on it, Israel army, thank you for giving Al-Zawahiri the stage and for continually providing the Arab public a daily show of indiscriminate wreckage and disrespect of international conflict and humanitarian laws (Btw, HRW and ICRC are not anti-Israeli pro-Arab organizations). It is quite a popular show and everybody is thrilled about the peace process.
