A Measured Response
This just makes me sick. Found this picture on BoingBoing this morning.
The Israeli propaganda machine are in full swing, justifiying this war with the images of supportive children who have no idea who the enemy are.
I wonder if these little girls know they could be dead tomorrow from the retalliation that these very bombs will evoke.
Update: Thanks for the comments that pointed out that this photograph was staged! That’s possibly even more sickening.
It seems that the photographers or the parents of the children, it is still a little unclear, were trying to set up the frame.  That’s more than a little slimy in such a charged situation. Gosh I wish we could get real unbiased news from the media.

Ya, looks like this photo op was staged by a photog. To make matters worse, it’s being use now as propaganda by the terrorists.
The media is the enemy.

The terrorists, eh? To me a terrorist is anyone who causes terror in the hearts of civilians, on either side of a conflict. The Israeli’s fit that definition just as well as Hezbollah.
Leave the terror threats to GWB.
Althought I agree that the media are certainly evil.
