MEASURED.... AND FOUND WANTING
"I think Israel's response under the circumstances has been measured."
PM Harper http://www.cbc.ca/cp/world/060713/w071380.html
"Seven Canadians – including six members of a Montreal family – were killed in Lebanon on the weekend." http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20060717.wlebcan0717/BNStory/International/home
Not including the numerous lebanes civilans, and civilian targets (civilian airport, and port) that the Israeli's have hit.
Yes every country does have the right to defend itself. However, israel is now invading another country making it quite acceptable for Lebanon to defend itself against israeli aggression. Hezbollah's pupetteer's are in Syria, why not deal with syria?
Lebanon has kicked most of the syrian troops and secret police out of their country after the Harriri affair and has elected a moderate and friendly government. By attacking lebanon as Israel has done in the past days will accomplish only to generate more support to hezbollah. The lebanes government has been shown to be weak and inneffective in dealing with the situation, however in such a situation the population will be more inclined to side with hezbollah and other extremists groups.
Invading lebanon was a bad decision geo-politically and morally.
I truly hope Israel will face the sanctinos and the international denunciation that north korea and iran have faced for to me they are now in the same club. They've also killed seven Canadian citizens including small children. In another century this would have been a declaration of war against us.
Damn you to hell Olmert.

Layton makes a good point that Harper's big talk violates Canadian impartiality.

I'd be more succinct: "Axe Harper now!"

The other angle is that I think Israel fell into a trap set by Syria.
The lebanese kicked syria out of lebanon last year. The israeli's invaded gaza after one of their soldiers was kidnapped and brought there.
Seeing this I wouldn't be surprised if Syria instructed hezbollah to also kidnapp soldiers to provide a military reaction by israel that would show just how fragile the lebanese government is thereby 'increaseing the need/desire' for Syria to come back to lebanon.
Its sick and wrong and I hope I'm wrong but I can see this happening.
I hope this business ends soon for the sake of the innocents on all sides.
Cheers,
