I've read that so far "hundreds" of civilians have been killed in all. However, I've heard no reports of American casualties.

I just think it's a bit of an anomaly, assuming there actually are no reports of American casualties. Usually there are ten Americans for every Canadian in any given scenario, and I'm sure there are more Americans than Canadians in the M.E. right now.

Anyway, I just found it curious and thought I'd throw this out there.

If there are, I doubt the media will dwell on it.

3. I haven't heard anything on TV about American Deaths,
of course any and all deaths are beyond tragic. Horrible in a way that cannot
be put in words.

Just watched a piece on CTV News about the Montreal Family wiped out in Lebanon.
Oh my gawd. What a lovely family. The Young Mom & Dad and 4 little kids were taking
cover in a their family's home when they heard of rocket(s) to come in near by..
the rocket(s) went off and the house collapsed on them. The devastation of violence,
of war, of hate, of all of it, is too much to comprehend. I feel sick for this family
and all the families that suffer from war.

4. The Canadian government is saying there are 40,000 Canadians
in Lebanon. I've heard there are 25,000 Americans there. Usually it's 10 to 1 or more the other way around.
