The Murder of Lebanese by Israel

Ho Chi Minh City - The question needs to be asked, "How many Lebanese have to be murdered by Israel to rescue two soldiers?" The answer, as of this date, is at least 548 and quite possibly 750. Of the 548 to date that have been killed in Israel's State Act of Terrorism, 477 have been civilians.
While I was in Cambodia this past week, seeking solace among the ruins of the Khmer Empire of the 12th Century, that peace was broken by the news of Israel's rocketing a refugee center, killing nearly 60 people. Of that amount, 37 were children.
Insincere apologies and statements by Bush, who is supporting Israel's acts of terrorism against the civilian population, mean nothing to the rest of the world. In Cambodia, I spoke with Canadians, French, Germans, Australians, Japanese and many others. They all find Bush's calculating nonchalance and allowance of this massacre to take place to be at the war crimes level. I told them others in the United States also believe George W. Bush is a War Criminal as is Prime Minister Ehud Olmert.
These two criminals have ignored pleas from the world to stop the violence. They are allowing the killing of civilians to continue in cold blood. Many believe that Bush is following an irrational belief in a two millenia old text and allows this genocide to occur in hopes of the return of a religious deity. Such irrational beliefs have no place or credibility in the modern world. Sadly, all sides in this horrific violence are fighting to preserve unverified religious dogmatic beliefs.
Regardless, the world must condemn Ehud Olmert and George W. Bush and brand them as war criminals and their fallacious positions of blaming Hezbollah for the calculated violence against Lebanese civilians.
It should be stated here that I do not condone nor tolerate the actions of Hezbollah. As a former police officer, I was taught to use only that force which was necessary to overcome the immediate threat. Israel, with Bush's tacit permission, is simply now on a killing spree.
How many more will die? The two criminals must believe in the Armageddon myth.
