Away from home reading the depressing news.
From Al-Jazeera:
Jan Egeland said on Wednesday that thousands of Lebanese civilians remain at risk from unexploded cluster bombs dropped there.
"What's shocking and I would say completely immoral is that 90 per cent of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict when we knew there would be a resolution, when we knew there would be an end."
"Those places who made those bombs should have a serious talk with Israel on the use of such bombs that are making our lives so miserable trying to help the Lebanese people," he said.
"Ninety per cent of the cluster bomb strikes occurred in the last 72 hours of the conflict when we knew there would be a resolution" Jan Egeland, UN"I hope the US will talk to the Israelis on that, because it is an outrage that we have 100,000 bombs among where children, women, shopkeepers and farmers are now going to tread"
Egeland added that he had not been able to get an explanation from the Israelis so far.
An 'explanation' ? What explanation ? An explanantion assumes some minimal level of rationality and morality. Where there is an explanation there is a justification. Can this act of barabarism be justified ?
Was there any explanation for Auschwitz ?
