The Elephant in the Room

Following the deaths in Qana of 62 people, of whom 32 were children, it seems that more world leaders are feeling the urgency of calling for an immediate ceasefire as they describe what happened in Qana as a crime against humanity. Of course it is, but did it really have to take the death of that many innocent lives at one time to make them see what has been happening in Lebanon for the past weeks for what it is!? I am also wondering how many more people must die before they see that unless they resolve the entire Israeli/ Palestinian problem fairly there will be no peace/security for any of us living in this region.

Unfortunately, and most depressing to me, is that George Bush is still in need of a better pair of glasses. Until now he hasn’t been able to see ‘the elephant in the room’.........z
