Hey, I just posted at Truthdig.com a really powerful essay by Chris Hedges, the former Middle East bureau chief for The New York Times and author of the best-seller "War is a Force that Gives us Meaning."
He argues that the bloodshed now engulfing Lebanon and Israel will only worsen as long as extremists on both sides continue to indulge in "collective necrophilia."
