This Violence Must End

Israel is calling the bombings in Qana a "mistake". In death there are no mistakes. There are 56 dead, including 34 children. Condoleeza Rice has cancelled her trip to the middle east, and i hope she knows that she, like all Americans who have not spoken out against these atrocities is complicit in the continuation of this violence. The Bush Administration's policies have sown up this destiny. Now, we must witness what we have reaped.

I am not anti-Israel, but they have gone way too far. The violence must end, and the whole world knows that the U.S. has the power to stop it, and we must. If we continue to do nothing then the whole world could fall into the abyss of Jerusalem.

Update: The BBC has reactions from many foreign leaders and representatives. It should be read because all the statements are very genuine and strong. All but one. Rice's statement is strung together by platitudes and bizarre, almost superficial wordplay.
Have we come to expect anything else?
Disgusting.
