Exploding pagers injure hundreds in attack targeting Hezbollah members, Lebanese security source says

236. Sorry I missed this one

First this was an argument about attacking the legitimate target of Hizbollah communications systems. Next we have agreed it was an attack meant to injure or kill.

I'm not putting words in your mouth, I certainly wasn't trying to, I'm following the logical conclusion. If we are okay with this action, then we are okay with killing civilians anywhere because terrorism. That's my problem with this.

Now I believe you are disputing how many civilians were killed and injured? It makes me want to ask, what number would you like? If the number of dead and injured civilians can be argued about, a smaller number of them might mean...what? Just a few. Opps? It's still not okay to me.

One Who said ANYTHING about bombs being an option? It's not in the discussion to bomb the beepers. Unless this is a hot war now, which I hope it's not. It wasn't necessary to kill anyone to take out the beepers, and that's my point. It was reckless risk of life, no matter how many terrorists it killed.

Two It was meant to kill terrorists and anyone unfortunate enough to be in close proximity. Like in a grocery store. No one thought blowing up all those beepers simultaneously would only hurt terrorists when they planned it.

Three Hundreds of civilian casualties were reported on the news, I'm sorry if I said hundreds of deaths incorrectly. I don't think the number makes a lot of difference though, and I was not trying to be dishonest.
