I haven't really been writing much about the Israeli-Hezbollah conflict. No one involved smells like rose that is for sure. The Israelis have tried peace only to have it shot back in their face. The Lebanese are unable to rein in Hezbollah and in many cases do not wish to do so. There is not easy solution that has not been tried and found wanting.
That said I really don't like people lying to me. Remember when Sean Penn was tooling around Post-Katrina New Orleans in his boat with his photographer taking pictures as he pulled poor souls from the water? Ever really thought about that? You have a boat with limited room, meaning you can only save a given number of people per trip. Do you save more people or carry your own photographer? We know which one Penn chose.
This whole Lebanon business is the same. We have "relief workers" coordinating photo ops with dead children. Others are lying down under rubble. Indigenous "journalists" are faking photos outright. And I'm supposed to buy this? No thanks.
