It has been revealed that the bombs used in the attacks "Israel" launched on the southern Lebanese village of Qana were produced by the US.
At least 60 civilians, most of whom were children had been killed in the attack.
The British newspaper Guardian reported that the bombs used in the attacks were laser-controlled BSU 37/B bunker busters manufactured by the US.
The Independent claimed that inscriptions on shrapnel found at the sight of the attack indicate that the bombs were manufactured by the US.
It also noted that the bombs were tested in the war field.
The same type bomb had been used in last week's attack that killed four UN observers.
The Bush administration had shipped 2.5 tons, 100 GBU-28 "bunker busters" to the region after the operation began on 12 July.
‘Silence Requires a Heart of Stone!'
The carnage in Qana dominated the world media.
The Guardian, recalling the Qana massacre of 1996 when 105 people were killed, stressed that "Israel's" foreign policies have never yielded concrete results and there was no guarantee that their latest policies would be any different.
David Clark, adviser for the Workers Party government, wrote that "Israel" had openly committed war crimes and that Blair and Bush were being hypocrites by not condemning all forms of terror.
In an article titled, 'How can we stand by and allow this to go on?' Robert Fisk, a popular journalist for Independent, writes, "You must have a heart of stone not to feel the outrage."

True, not all Americans are in agreement with the US foreign policy. And you know what, this may come as a surprise to you. But in my opinion, Muslims have to do their home work, only then, the US and its baby will think 4 times before taking any more steps.
This issue is multifacted and really large and deeply rooted. But we have to start.

As an American, I have to say that I don't agree with most of US foriegn policy. I can't say that it is a surprise that US supplies are found among other countries during an attack. We seem to fund those that we would later take down. But, didn't the US send life supplies to Lebanon?
This is where I get a little confused. Please help, clarify, or elaborate on anything I say...
During the first Gulf War didn't Israel stay out of it, and they were being attacked?
Why can't anyone who wants to live in Israel just live there? Why is there so much fighting? I guess living where I live, I don't understand why different religions can't co-exist in the same location.
Also, what are the feelings about Hezbollah? From my research, I see that they provide hospitals, schools, even financial aid to the poor. Why are they considered a terrorist organization?
What is the connection between Israel and America? Where did the "bond" originally form?
