Outraged

Dear Editor,
    If someone was bombing the shit out of the U.S., wouldn't we all expect "peaceful nations" to insist on an immediate cease-fire, even in the face of ongoing conflict? The fact that Bush and his people say it would be "unproductive" for Israel to stop bombing Lebanon right away – that it would be "premature"?! – it's clear as day that the Lebanese lives being destroyed daily are just tactical misfortunes to this administration. (Save every last embryo, but ... living, breathing humans? Let's not be hasty. After all, we've got an alliance to support.)
    A New York Times article reported that a small group of demonstrators followed Condi Rice's armored procession in Beirut. One sign read “Be outraged.” I am.
