Israel prepares for offensive, diplomats work on peace plan

Kind of sounds like diplomats and Israel have two seperate ideas of what's about to happen.

Israel today sent its tanks into Lebanon and massed troops along the border with that country for a proposed broader offensive against the Hezbollah as diplomats at the UN worked to salvage a peace plan in the face of opposition to it from Arab nations.

Remember about a month ago when they said this fighting would only last a few days?

David Welch, the US State Department's top envoy for the Middle East, arrived in Beirut and held talks with Lebanese Prime Minister Fuad Siniora.

"So...your country looks like shit."

You know, I realized something this morning about Americans that I think people should know, especially those of you who have anti-American feelings. For the last month or so there has been a commerical running on television asking for the support of the American people for Israelis who are now "under attack and living in bomb shelters". This commerical runs CONSTANTLY. Yesterday, after seeing it for the ninth time in twenty minutes, I realized something. No one is going to send money to this pro-Israel corporation. Why? Cause it's not just Arab countries that Americans don't care about. It's everything. We're too lazy to care. Hell, I'm too lazy to change the channel when that stupid commerical comes on.
