A necessary moral equivalence
America's Future Foundation
by Daniel Larison
08/13/06
'We are all Lebanese now.' That is not a phrase likely to be heard coming from any American politician or official of either party, much less from any professional pundit. It is the sort of phrase that people utter when they see devastating attacks that kill and maim innocent civilians, but it is not the solidarity extended to the innocent in states that are at war with our government or with one of our allies. As I have read about and seen pictures of the damage from the Israeli campaign in Lebanon, it occurred to me to ask myself why there was not the same sense of goodwill and charity towards the innocent who have suffered death, injury or displacement. I still do not have a satisfactory answer...

The murder of American values in Lebanon
Christian Science Monitor
by Ann Zwicker Kerr
08/14/06
America is murdering the values it taught us,' my former fellow classmate from the American University of Beirut (AUB) cried out when I visited her in Amman this spring. Salma's words echoed the pain my family and I had been living with for 22 years, since two unidentified gunmen assassinated my husband on the campus of the American University of Beirut -- pain that is reinforced with each day of bombing in Lebanon and Israel and underscored by the many recent deaths in Qana and elsewhere, as well as the insubstantial cease-fire. 'Oh, how I miss Malcolm,' Salma said to me, referring to my husband. She was implying that he was an American in a position of influence whom she could trust and who could interpret the Muslim world to the West. 'Islam is so distorted and misunderstood -- it makes me feel more Muslim than I ever felt before'...
