While I do think this is good for the people of Lebanon, I find it insane that you guys will be paying for Israel's reckless bombardment.
American taxpayer, how does this make you feel?

You know it's almost funny, in a sad ironic twist, you paid for the weapons to destroy the infrastructure, and you will pay to rebuild it. All the while not a single US soldier was involved in any of it. Don't you ever wonder why?

It's because the US is the monetary tit in which every shithole country wants to get their mouth around.

That is the truth.
Maybe if Israel didn't take out all that infrastructure, and just focused on Hezbollah, there wouldn't be a need for this.
I am convinced that Israel will periodically bomb Lebanon, every time they start gaining power/technology/improvements/etc. There was no reason to bomb the shit out of Beirut, no rockets were/could be fired from there.

I don't think they can effectively bomb Hezbollah without taking out civilians. The only way they can minimize casualties is to send commando squads to detain or kill Hezbollah members.
If they do this, though, they still get condemned. They sorta can't win.

I understand this, but there was no reason to bomb 50%+ of their targets other then to set back the country as a whole. They were bombing places that were out of range from firing rockets. I can see bombing roads to prevent re-supply, but Israel seemed to just pulverize the entire country.
Israel would NEVER jeopardize their IDF lives, when they could just bomb them to hell.
No matter how you slice it, if I were an American Tax payer, I would demand that Israel foots the bill for the rebuilding of civilian homes and infrastructure. Also, they should not be allowed to finance it with the aid they get from America already!

I agree with you, but it's hard to find a politician who doesnt support aiding Israel.

I watched the speech Bush gave today, American contractors will be doing the rebuilding. You give the weapons and aid to Israel, Israel bombs Lebanon, you give Lebanon some aid. They use that aid and aid from other country's to pay your contractors to rebuild their infrastructure. It's like the circle of life, beautiful in its way .

Bush is forever pledging hundreds of millions of dollars here, billions of dollars there, over and over and over again. It sounds nice, but I doubt it is even happening, all of this money actually going to all of these places. 
 Peace.

The US sits around and lets Israel bomb the living bejesus out of Lebanon and then the "always" helpful US wants to send all this aid money. WHAT A CROCK OF SHIT. If you cant see whats going on here step away from the koolaid and put the cup down.

Exactly, a couple of the people in this thread have missed my point entirely.

If by "missed your point", you mean "Already guessed your point before opening the thread by reading the subject, opened the thread, yawned, and decided to comment on something else other than the obvious point", then yes, I guess I missed the point.

I am sure that all 230 million in aid, will reach its intended audience.......MY FUCKING ASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
