There is no shortage of terrorist sympathizers... if he likes Hezbollah cockroaches so much why doesn't he go to Lebanon to pick up all their dead bodies?

The newsreader got pwned so bad, she had no idea. When he referred to how the Israeli invasion was a failure (I wonder what a failure would look like) she had no comeback.
Galloway is a bit radical, but says some true things there. How can the IDF capture Palestinian and Lebanese ministers, people and Hezbollah fighters and then attack when Hezbollah do the same? Why do skynews and other media outlets deliberately put a slant on the coverage of the war? Is an Israeli life worth more than a Palestinian or a Lebanese life? Why, when Israel constantly refers to the "protection" of it's borders does it stretch it's borders further into Lebanon, and invade neighbouring countries?
Too many questions, too little answers. An Israeli supporters wonder why the rest of the world disagrees.

I agreed with 80% of what he had to say.
Whilst I see Hezbollah as a terrorist organisation, Israel are committing war crimes as we speak.
What are the Israelis bombing in Beruit now? surely all identified targets in civilian areas are blown away by now ....inncoent Lebanese and Israelis are paying the price for silly, silly men's decisions.

This is an interesting question hidden in amongst the rest of your observations.
Firstly, I believe some lives are more valuable than others. I'm yet to develop a workable formula or definition to illustrate this, but there are situations where, if two lives are at risk, there is a clear choice of which one would be the first taken to save the other.
Secondly, some religious followers consider their own lives to be of less value than those of other religions. Many see their own human existence as nothing more than a conduit to the afterlife, whilst others view human life as a sacred gift to be protected at nearly all costs.

Why does it have to be race or religious based?
Importance is to the beholder. I value my childrens lives more than any others.

Who is this "God" fellow you allude to?

Naturally. However, if your children were in no relative danger and you knew say a friend that was, you would at that moment place the life of the friend in more importance than your children.
Basically, what I'm trying to get at is that there are different levels of importance in terms of life, and depending on people or countries major interests, they evaluate accordingly. For example, while America often aims to protect Israeli citizens, partly because Israel is an ally, collateral is allowed in Lebanon and Iraq.
Then again, tell me a country that doesn't do that. Australia, Canada, UK even Switzerland do that.
It's the question that do you believe in utilitarianism, or is every life sacred? The problem is, when fighting these wars for freedom and liberty, often the people who we are trying to free and provide liberty to, are the ones who suffer.

**** Cheney knows ...hey ITN ask him for us will you?
Phew. He absolutely tore strips off her and pointed out the blatant bias in the news coverage of the Middle East conflict.
Good on him.
Good on him.

I guess it would've been a lot easier to just say that every life is equally valuable, but I'd probably just be kidding myself.
Examples maybe ? In my subjective opinion ? Just off the top of my head that has been celebrating Kilkenny's big win over Clare today a little too emphatically ?
* The life of Nelson Mandela is more valuable than that of Martin Bryant.
* The life of a 12 year old Malawi sponsor child is more valuable than that of a person who is undergoing so much suffering that they wish to be euthenised.
* The life of an expectant mother is probably more valuable than that of her unborn child if the birth of that child will seriously endanger the life of its mother.

Precisely. To believe that either side is innocent in this matter is ridiculous.
