One man's rubble

By Brian C. Ledbetter · Thursday, August 10. 2006 16:45

Today's wires seem to be packed full of "fresh" devastation in Hezbullah strongholds. For the record, I've previously said that I don't believe a word of it. In a war-torn area like this, I think you'd be hard-pressed to find the last time that the streets looked normal. It sure wasn't normal last week.

Israeli troops, backed by tank units, battled Hezbollah fighters in south Lebanon as the United Nations criticized both sides for blocking aid supplies to 120,000 stranded civilians.(AFP/Haitham Mussawi)

I'm willing to bet dollars to donuts that we'll find some of these places looking just as bombed earlier in the summer...

Here is what a handful of random people think about this article. But first, the fine print:

The opinions expressed here, even where approved for display, do not necessarily reflect the opinions of this website, the management, or any other entity or organization, with the exception of the Vast Zionist Conspiracy. Those opinions we represent in style, yo. Please keep the language in these comments clean, as this is intended to be a family-friendly, work-friendly website. Comments not compliant with this policy will be edited for content where necessary. Abusive or otherwise illegal comments will be reported to the proper authorities, up to and including the aforementioned Vast Zionist Conspiracy. The Management cannot and will not be held responsible for commenters making a spectacle of themselves, even if The Management are the said commenters in question. In other words, don't take yourself so seriously, folks. We're all here to discuss the news, and more importantly, to have fun. Now go get yourself into some OCD treatment program—you obviously need it if you actually read all of this mess.
