yes, i have just today saw on cnn a story that had
an ireali woman that had just went out to shop and
lost a leg to one of the rockets. on the otherside is
others being maimed. on that side of the border it is
hard to know if a terrorist has been killed or a
civilian who was just in the wrong place since
hezbolah does not wear uniforms. they store their ammo
in peoples houses and pretty much disperse into the
general population, but, i am sure there are civilians
that are just in the wrong place just like the people
in isreal that are just in the wrong place when one of
those rockets hits. 
   i have been watching what happens in isreal and
thus the middle east since before the 1967 war. i
guess my opinions have formed slowly and if they
change they will change slowly. it just seems that
every cease fire has eventually been broken. and when
they eventually cease fire again it will just last
long enough for the groups like hezbolah to re-arm (or
be re-armed is more like it) then another cease fire
will be broken. and on it will go. 
   i do beleive it will end. but i shall not got into
why.
