    "This is a big disaster for the Lebanese."
    Once again the U.S. government has refused to condemn the Israeli invasion of Lebanon as the bombs fall on Beirut, killing scores of civilians.
    In a moment of levity while driving to the border, Abu Talat turned to me and said, "You know what I miss?" I replied, "What do you miss sir?" He smiled and said, "Iraqi chai!" He then turns to our driver and asked him if he’d ever (…)

    Watching Lebanon Burn Notes from a Free Fire Zone By RAMZI KYSIA
    Beirut.
    Watching the news today in my grandfather’s home in Lebanon, all I want to do is weep. Until today, I was cautiously optimistic. Until today, there were some positive developments in the politics of this war.
    It seems almost obscene to say that. Hundreds of human beings lay dead, hundreds-of-thousands more are displaced, living in schools and make-shift shelters all across the country. An unknown number huddle in (…)

    From this hill village in the south of the country, I am watching the clouds of brown and black smoke rising from its latest disaster in the Lebanese town of Bint Jbeil: up to 13 Israeli soldiers dead, and others surrounded, after a devastating ambush by Hizbollah guerrillas in what was supposed to be a successful Israeli (…)

    Fighting Them There, As We Create Them Everywhere Else By Ron Fullwood July 26, 2006 "We’re fighting them there so, we don’t have to fight them here." That’s still the mantra of the right wing regarding Iraq.
    But, if it is our presence in Iraq that is a magnet for combatants, then it’s immoral to expect Iraqis to continue to bear the brunt of those violent expressions of resentment that are directed at the U.S.. Especially since the Bush regime seems intent on provoking even more (…)
