Card Shark: "I'll give you a Sparky Lyle and a Kent Tekulve for a Mickey Mantle rookie card." Minnow: "Sure. Sounds like a good deal to me." Hezbollah: "I'll give you two decomposed bodies. You give me four militants who want to erase your country from the map and a man who bludgeoned to death a four-year-old girl." Israel: "Sure. Sounds like a good deal to me."

You're ABSOLUTELY right Dan! This is illuminating though. The Israelis value their people so that the remains of a few of their dearly departed were worth a handful of live Arab vermin. Food for thought.

What the heck has happened to Israel?! They used to be revered around the world by freedom loving people and feared by fascist terrorist nations for their toughness. What seems to be the problem with them these days? Is there something mentally wrong with Olmert?

"...a man who bludgeoned to death a four-year-old girl."

Truely evil. Equally (or perhaps more) evil is the fact that millions of his fellow Middle-Easterners think it was a laudable thing to do. There are days when I think a few H-bombs are the proper solution to this particular problem.

It is not quite that the dead Israeli bodies were returned.

"Hezbollah has just relayed a coffin containing body PARTS of IDF soldiers who were killed in the Second Lebanon War"

Brutality abounds.

Maybe the Israelis are getting worn down? Could it be that the murderers are winning?
