I'm having a hard time looking at CNN's homepage.

Four Children and the Cost of War
Standing in front of a boy lying in a hospital bed in Tyre, Lebanon, the "conflict in the Middle East" and the "cost of war" seem endless and suffocating. The boy's pain cannot possibly be imagined as he shakes uncontrollably in and out of shock.

ON EDIT: And then I went to the NY Times homepage.

Fleeing Family Ends Up in Path of Israeli Missile
Two brothers from the Shaito family waited Sunday at a hospital in Tyre, Lebanon. Three of their relatives died while fleeing north when their van was struck by an Israeli missile.

3. I am sick of the carnage...and the innocents...if this child lives
he will hate America....* fantasy of realligning the Middle East has been successful beyond his wildest dreams...except of course the Middle East has become united and more Religously radicallized than it ever was before the US went to Iraq....

watching these babies die in Iraq and Lebanon is getting to be too much.....

4. again, thank you CNN for publishing these atrocious pictures
It needs to be seen to get enough public opinion to stop it. Very hard to see.

7. I, too, applaud CNN for showing the true face of the horror...
occurring at this moment. Not numbers, not strategies, only bodies of the dead and injured.

5. Israel will push Lebanese people too far if this keeps up
Pressuring people to do something by utilizing military force is a delicate procedure, and it can backfire, and it can backfire badly.
