Relax, DDT. The Isreali-Lebanon conflict is all over the news. It's only natural the topic would come up eventually. I don't think SummerKiss came to start trouble, especially with such a passive name. She did say she was looking to practice her English, and talking about what's happening on the news is good practice.

Of course, casualties are part of war, but one can also be excessive in war and over-react, especially the one with all the modern weapons, as they can do far more harm with less effort. If a criminal takes a civilian hostage, you shouldn't kill the civilian along with the criminal just to get the criminal. Of course, that's easier said than done, especially in war.

Many Lebanese are Christian, yes. But Hezbollah is a militant Islamic group. I think it is about land and religion. In the Middle East, it's difficult to set aside religion as a major factor for many things.
