But remember that, of course, in the Middle East, ambulances are frequently used more for propaganda than for medical evacuation. I've even seen a piece of film in which a Palestinian child lit up the ambulance lights, then jumped in to rescue wounded civilians - until his father called him off, thinking that the camera had been shut off, so he stopped the ambulance and "wounded" folks got up and walked away. Also we need to remember that these are munitions - whether "precision" or not - and that we're going to see scenes like this one. Still, though... ~scruff That’s a pretty horrendous image!

I don't approve what's going on over there, but I can understand both parties... I hope this situation will end soon, for not only the local population gets hurt real bad, also we, who are swallowed in the capitalistic way of live, notice this conflict (just take a look at the local prizes you pay for daily products...).
