I am a Lebanese-American who was born in Latin America. I am shocked at Israel's barbarism and I am certain that this disproportionate response was meant to cripple Lebanon more than to punish Hizballah.
 I want to say that I am, for the first time in my life, fighting back. I have been calling my senators and representative, and I urge everyone to do the same. IMMEDIATELY.
No matter what one's thoughts on Hizballah, we must realize that Lebanon and the Lebanese have no friends. Not Syria, not the USA, not France, and certainly not the remaining Arab states. We need to help one another and we need to send a strong message to Israel (and everyone else for that matter): We will not be silent, in Lebanon or abroad.
Oh yeah, and one more thing. This time around, when we rebuild, it will be better than last time.
