Tales and Songs from Weddings and Funerals

Two Years Later

I was going through the archives on my blog and I found something I had posted on July 21, 2006.

The sides are clear, according to the Western World, Hezbollah kiddnapped (captured?) two (count them two) Israeli soilders. They started it.... Israel has the right to defend itself. In theory. However, innocents never have the right to be caught in between espeically when they are just trying to live their life.

I don't know if you all remember of not, but this was what started the bombings that led many deaths including those of United Nations Peace Keepers, and nearly destroyed Beirut.

Well two years later Israel got the bodies back - in exchange for a few prisoners. This world we live in is crazy. I think I agree with the idea that exchanging prisoner for bodies sets a bad president - it doesn't really give the kidnappers much reason to keep people alive. Bodies are much easier and cheaper to look after!

I'm just saying..
