434 dead, 2,230 wounded as of two hours ago.
and it looks as though some kind of ground action is going to happen soon.
good god.
i saw a guy on cspan whose name sadly eludes me. he is a correspondent for an egyptian paper i think. he said: at the human level, there's no aristocracy of pain. neither the suffering of israeli civilians under rocket attacks or palestinian civilians under aerial bombardment (with ground assault to follow it seems) is better than the other. they're the same.
this seems self-evident, but apparently it isn't.
