And she’s mad as hell about the lack of international concern for Arab lives. Go read her story about the Qana massacre:
I’m so frustrated I can’t think straight. I’m full of rage against Israel, the US, Britain, Iran and most of Europe. The world is going to go to hell for standing by and allowing the massacre of innocents. For God’s sake, 34 children??? The UN is beyond useless. They’ve gone from a union of nations working for the good of the world (if they ever were even that), to a bunch of gravediggers. They’re only good for digging mangled bodies out of the ruins of buildings and helping to identify and put them into mass graves. They won’t stop a massacre- they won’t even speak out against it- they’ll just come by and help clean up the mess. Are the lives of Arabs worth so little? If this had happened in the US or UK or France or China, somebody would already have dropped a nuclear bomb… How is this happening?
She’s right, of course. Arab lives are considered of little value to those who willingly propagate the ever worsening War on Terror. In fact, I’m beginning to believe a better term for it might be the War of Terror, for that appears to be the only justification the Bush administration has for letting the slaughter in Lebanon continue: to kill more Arabs and intimidate the survivors.
I’m sorry Riverbend. So sorry my country has been the cause of so much grief in your world.
