And think on this: every one of those coffins represents one human being. Every one of those coffins has a name, has a family, has people who grieve for their passing. Every fucking one of them.
I was going to add a point about something like that, but I thought that that diluted the essential point: every death is a tragedy. Every death is the end of the world for someone.
And, of course, the reason for all of these deaths, for every one of these individual tragedies, is because Hizbullah and the Israeli government are in a Goddess-damned Dick-Size War.
I saw - in passing - an Andrew Bolt opinion piece. About the only bit I saw was something that suggested members of Hezbollah(sp?) were shooting from that UN outpost, expecting that Israel wouldn't have the guts to fire back.
I always knew the Herald Sun was a rag. This just adds confirmation to it.
From what I understand, in transliteration from arabic, e and i are much the same phoneme, and o/u/(sometimes a) similarly, the transcriptions being based on a given convention, and sometimes the accent of the speaker/translater. There is another 'a' phoneme which always(?) maps to "a".
Thus you will see H[ei]zb[aou]llah, each variation being a more-or-less accurate in its own way transcription of حزب الله
And the only willing contact I maintain with the Herald Scum is through BoltWatch.
