Very sad Israel received coffins not live soldiers

UN identifying bodies but it appears the two soldiers that the whole miserable Second Lebanon War were fought over are deceased. They may have been so from the very beginning.

There really must be a better way and I appeal to both sides to find it. Try harder. Seriously. Now.

Israel: invading another country over two soldiers, as precious as they are, was a dreadful and painful decision. I could not believe my very eyes when I saw what had happened and the debacle of that tormented country being ruined further. Surely you are smarter and more moral than that.

Hizbullah: you understand what your people need to thrive, and you have demonstrated that you know. I do not understand why you do not press non-military and non-confrontational advantages when they exist in order to defend your people and help them prosper. Provocation never fed or housed a child, or gained back any land in freedom.
