Isreal dropped leaflets warning residents to be off the roads of Tyre, or risk being viewed as Hezbollah arms transporters, and duly bombed. You can bomb three or four cars, but what if everyone drove? You can't bomb them all - can you? Isn't the will of the Lebanese people evident in their willingness to simply obey? Or is that what we're supposed to believe? Is this an indication of their faith in the Isreali attack on Hezbollah? Would it be the same next month, a year from now, or would they drive indifferent to the leaflets? When will the faith wane? When will the fear?
Papers in all the boxes, all along the street, tout the arrest of one, two, maybe three Hezbollah millitants. This is not unlike the U.S. offensive in Iraq, where we are rewarded for our faith in the offensive by the occasion killing or capture in the deck of terrorist cards that the government holds so close to their chest. The Isreali offensive is mirrored in our papers, asking us to believe that it's the right thing.
I don't know what to believe.
