My first reaction when I heard that Israel had bombed and killed 4 U.N. observers in southern Lebanon was, "Damn! The Israelies are going after ALL the bad guys". Of course, I don't really think U.N. personnel should be targeted, although the tenants at 760 United Nations Plaza in New York are in fact mostly bad guys.

Just as Hizbollah hides behind women and children as they attack innocent Israelis, they also hide behind U.N. observer bunkers. And just as Israel doesn't stop attacking Hizbollah for fear of killing innocents, they don't and shouldn't stop attacking Hizbollah for fear of killing U.N. personnel.

The REAL villain here is not Israel but, once again, Kooki Kofi. He knew the U.N. observers were in harms way, he knew Hizbollah was firing on Israel while in very close proximity to U.N. bunkers and he did not call them home.

I wouldn't put it past the evil Mr. Annan to intentionally not recall the observers in hopes that Israel would kill some of them so he could shout, "See - those evil Israelis are targeting innocent U.N. personnel now. What won't those evil Zionists do?".

Kofi - you murdered those U.N. observers. The blood is on your hands.
