Dispatches from Beirut

Samer al-Batal has been writing from Beirut at A Conservative Blog for Peace. In More from Beirut he writes:

This has long grown out of all proportion and especially now to beyond the point where the most duplicitous liar can attempt to summon a rationale to explain how military operations are solely aimed at eradicating Hizbullah. This entire country is under threat. They’ve destroyed the lighthouse in Beirut and struck its port, along with the ports of other areas, including the city of Tripoli! This is no area that hosts either Shi’ites or elements of Hizbullah. They’ve reached all the way to the north! They’ve hit both wheat and water reserves, attacked the Lebanese army, and have committed atrocious murders in particular the devastating attack on a truck of refugees fleeing from one of the southern villages.

Offer your prayers tonight and your Holy Mass tomorrow for peace in Lebanon and for the repose of all the innocent who have been murdered.
