The Real View

Constellation: Indus (The Indian)
Mood: Desolated

I could explain to you about the war on Lebanon, about what you don’t see on TV, about what the American media refuse to show, about the apathy of the Hezbollah towards a whole nation, about Israel’s true strengths and weaknesses.

But instead I chose to talk to you about what is truly happening. Everyone knows about the children dying and you probably saw a good deal of pictures everywhere. Massive destruction is nothing new to Lebanese too (And Israel is making a good usage of its artillery.

However, the true picture, apart from all that, is:
- the level of uncollected waste on the streets leading to infectious and deadly diseases,
- the constant rising number of migrants coming from the south and the Bekaa to Beirut and other cities. All need food, shelters, hygienic treatments and medicaments,
- the level of pollution in the Mediterranean Sea which could lead into an environmental disaster…

That is of course not to add to the inhuman aspects of the war which include:
- bombing an emergency van which was trying to escape the South, killing more that 23.
- bombing the highest bridge in the Middle East several times and destroying it completely.
- Killing 4 U.N. soldiers who were operating in the South – and calling this a “mistake.”

We'll have to anticipate on what Mrs. Rice's next move is going to be. Apparently she's the only one with real power in this world.
