Are there no open fields in Lebanon?

It is a tragedy that Israel gave Hezbollah and its sponsors just what they wanted - a major kill of civilians. Most tragic is more than half were children. But, is anyone asking - Why didn't Hezbollah get those people to safety when Hezbollah was using that very area from which to fire rockets and missiles at Israeli civilians?

Israel dropped leaflets on the target area warning civilians to get out, yet, Hezbollah fighters, no doubt read the same leaflets and allowed the civilians to stay in the target area. Perhaps the charge is true - Hezbollah cares more about winning than about their own women and children. Why else would they launch rockets and missiles from schoolyards, mosques, and neighborhoods? Are there no open fields in Lebanon?

The United Nations Security Council may bring a temporary end to the killing on both sides but the fact that Hezbollah is armed, in defiance of United Nations Resolution 1559, proves the United Nations remains an impotent organization. Hezbollah should have been disarmed long ago and the new Democratic government of Lebanon would be at peace with Israel, no civilians would be dead. The blame for this tragedy must be laid fully on Hezbollah, not on Israel, and surely not on the United States.

Terrorists carrying, planting, and exploding bombs, shooting rockets and missiles, have murdered thousands. These are the very same people, and their State sponsors, Iran and Syria, who are calling Israel a terrorist State. Let us not forget that the fighting began after Hezbollah crossed Israel's border and kidnapped Israeli soldiers, holding them as bargaining chips trying to extort prisoner releases.

When one looks behind-the-curtain who do we see hiding backstage?

It is interesting that all this took place just days before the G8 meeting. On the agenda of the meeting was to be a discussion about sanctions against Iran for its nuclear ambitions. Is it possible that Iran created the Middle East crisis to say to the United States and other nations - "you push us, we can push back"?

Intelligence sources agree that Iran and Syria are partners in supporting groups such as Hamas and Hezbollah who have sworn to destroy Israel. They have been supplying money and weapons to these groups and, therefore, have tremendous influence over them. World pressure must also focus on Syria and Iran.

After all the shooting finally stops, this question remains - When will the world, like Israel, have enough and join together to rid us of the terrorist scourge? Let's remember - we are dealing with a minority claiming to represent a majority, at least that's what they spin to the world. All groups have a right to promote their dogma in a democratic society but none have the right to force that dogma on others at the point of a gun. Talking, not shooting, should always be the first way forward. People have the inherent right to choose whom they will follow and whom they will elect to represent them. The world is faced with a minority of radicals trying to do maximum damage to freedom. If they will not put down their weapons and talk, this minority must be crushed.

It will take Democratic nations to take a stand against these criminal actors, outside the U.N. Security Council, because it's the only way for freedom to take root in the Middle East.

I remain convinced that Israel's battle against radical elements of Hezbollah and Hamas, and, the U.S. War on Terror in Iraq, can be catalysts to finally crush the criminals who have used innocents as a tool to impose radicalism upon the world. Every freedom loving nation should take the cue and make eradicating these killers the number one priority.

One must again ask - Is there any other nationality who has such a terrible history of being victims of hate and eradication as Israel? Who can honestly deny Israel's right to defend herself, her right to destroy her enemies?

Israel was struck first. Innocent Israeli's were killed first.

Hezbollah must be disarmed and forced to work within the Lebanese political system and allow the Lebanese people the freedom to decide the way forward. While Hezbollah has elected members in Lebanon's Parliament, elements of Hezbollah, thus far, have used the point of a gun to force their will.

This can end if the nations of world make an effort to end it.

How to Legally Download Movies on the Internet
With more and more people using broadband we are seeing and increase in options for content from the internet. One of these is movies. Due to the large file size of video content, it was not practical for this type of content for dial up users. This is all changing as broadband becomes the standard method to use the internet.

Early adopters of this new approach have gone so far as to cancel their cable TV subscriptions but not all content can be downloaded on the internet at this point. Still, this trend will likely continue as more content becomes available. Let's look at some of the top five latest sources for online movies.

CinemaNow.com offers downloadable movies that can be played for up to 24 hours after you start watching them. There are no membership fees and you pay $2.99 to $3.99 per rental. The current selection includes over 7500 films as well as a selection of free movie downloads.

Vongo.com contains over 1000 titles with new titles weekly. This service is also related to the Starz cable channel. Unlimited downloads and unlimited view times for standard titles. The monthly subscription is $9.99. They also have a pay per view fee for latest releases.

The Benefits of Submitting Articles for SEO
There are millions of businesses in the world. Similarly, there are millions of web sites being used to promote each and every one of them. Some get lucky enough and always appear number one in search engines. However, most get archived in the last places customers will ever look for in a search engine. Clearly, luck can not be everything when it comes to giving your business the attention it needs. Itï¿½s a good thing thereï¿½s always SEO. Search Engine Optimization is the only way to go if you want your ads and web sites to stand out in the internet. SEO compliant articles will inevitably hit the right keywords at all times. This procedure comes from the meticulous task of picking out most probable keywords people from all over the world use in search of corresponding services. Through hitting as many keywords as possible, a certain website raises its ranking in various search engines such as Yahoo and Google. With this higher ranking, customers gain more accessibility to the site. As we all know, it is indeed very rare for people to check out web sites in the latter pages of search results. That is why articles need to be optimized by inserting the words with most hits in terms of customersï¿½ random typing preference probabilities. Through search engine optimization, a web site will earn higher in the engines and remains there as long as it is kept properly maintained. SEO companies also see to it that their clients are always on top of the results page. As such, you are guaranteed continuing surveillance of your siteï¿½s ranking day in or day out. They also have keyword generators which can spare you from the laborious task of assessing which key words need to be hit and which ones are futile to include in the article. It also allows writers to hit the taste of the masses which access the internet. Companies can now focus writing attractively for the keywords which sell the best. Other services rendered by sites can now be dissolved if the web isnï¿½t showing an interest for it, therefore eliminating deadwood in the business. With this wonderful innovation in web writing, each article will surely be given ample attention in terms of engine optimization and accessibility. The purpose of advertising and syndication will be fulfilled, instead of stagnating in a dark and shady area with abysmally low ranking positions.
