a good graphic from the guardian concerning the sequence of events so far.
things are moving very quickly and i find it easy to grow confused.

this seems to me wholly nuts.
so for one israeli soldier kidnapped, it is ok to invade gaza, shut down water, electricity, cut off food and push 1.4 million people ever closer to what all but the israeli government and the ny times refer to as a humanitarian crisis.
for 2 israelis kidnapped by hizbollah, it is ok for israel to invade lebanon.
i dont follow the self-defense line being advanced by the israelis and the bush squad--i dont follow any of the logic that would explain israeli actions.
meanwhile, if you read any account that still thinks gaza worth talking about, conditions there continue to deteriorate rapidly.
so far in lebanon, israeli military actions have alreaedy killed some 50 civilians.
i dont get it.
