In a recent attack Israeli missiles destroyed a building instantly killing 50 Lebanese including 24 children the majority disabled as they took shelter with their mothers from the shelling.

For the First time i saw a Corresponded lose his cool with a Foreign Official, demanding an answer from the Israeli Military Spokesperson how could they have got the intelligence so wrong? After the Diplomatic and Tactful white-wash failed to pay off the young captain accepted that intelligence was wrong but could not rule out similar attacks in the coming days.

In a bold move the Lebanese PM immediately called off the peace talks and impending meeting with the U.S. secretary of State saying that there was nothing to talk about without a cessation of violence.

Meanwhile international commentators have been examining the role the U.S. has played in trying to defuse the snowballing crisis in the Middle-East, so what was their grand strategy you ask? "Lets supply Israel with even more sophisticated munitions"... That will solve the problem for sure.

While the White-House keeps matters clean under a diplomatic cloak all is not so well in White-Hall (UK) with many pro-Blair cabinet members becoming outspoken about the escalating situation in the Middle-East the P.M. Blair's reluctance to play a more active role in calling for peace.

The bombs drop day and night, night and day without respite and the true hero's in all this are the Citizens of Lebanon, the News Crews and the Red Cross (Especially the Red Cross) having been a relief worker myself and worked in some very hard and testing environments I was shocked to see Kevlar Helmets and Flack-vests as part of red-cross PPE! War truly is pointless.

Transportation of supplies and recovery of casualties has become next to impossible due to the constant shelling and bombardment of roads and with craters big enough to loose a truck in it is no wonder the UN and Red-Cross are pleading with Israel for a three day safe corridor.

In all this it is the civilians, the innocent that die on sides, so many lives and so many hearts shattered. While i was at a meeting i heard that a armed gunman walked into a Jewish Centre in the United States and Shot dead several civilians, this is proof that the current escalating violence affects the entire globe and not just the Middle-East.

If the international community is committed to fighting terrorism then they must call for a immediate cease-fire and end to hostilities, their inaction only adds credibility to the rubbish spewed out by the nasty trolls at Al-Qeada.

A Jewish citizen put it well, war is like a hammer and comparing it to the precision of a scalpel is not just flawed it is stupid.
