Israel has history of failure in ground attacks

The well-entrenched Lebanese guerrillas inflicted painful casualties on the Israelis and rained almost 4,000 rockets on Israel in a war that an Israeli commission of inquiry castigated as hastily approved, faultily planned and badly fought. Israelis consider the 2006 Lebanon war a blot on their military record.

2008-12-31 Sun. Star Bacolod - Bacaoco: Celebrate life and the family

We should distill the lessons we can get from it and simply move on because, whether we get up or not, the sun will still rise tomorrow to begin a new day.

If you are the cooking kind, enlist the entire family in preparing the food for your noche buena. Not only will the kids learn how to be helpful in the kitchen but they will also enjoy working alongside their parents for a feast that the entire family will savor.

2008-12-31 Nathan Gonzalez: The Lesson Israel Should Have Never Learned

On , Israel launched a massive bombing campaign over Beirut that came to be known as "Black Thursday. " In the conflagrations aftermath, over five hundred Lebanese and Palestinian civilians lay dead, countless were displaced, and widespread hunger and infestation took hold in the absence of running water and food.
