I began to write about latest circumstances, Rice's visit from the region and her outrageous words about the 'New Middle East' when people are killed in their cold blood, resuming of raids on Beirut, those nine people killed in the south of Lebanon this morning, about great article I read from Uri Avnery, and about the Lebanese blogs which Bashir, a lebanese blogger has given a round up post on, then I felt too sad to go on. This is the reason I just put this here. I found it in Gush Shalom's website:


Slowly, slowly,
kilometer after kilometer,
We are getting into the Lebanese quagmire.
Like last time.
Members of the government
Say that they have not been told in advance.
Like last time.
After all the killing and destruction,
We shall not achieve any aim.
But the price will be high.
Like last time.
