Not everyone, of course, agrees about the Israel-Hezbollah\/Lebanon war. I think it’s good to hear from someone closer to the source (that doesn’t include CNN), so you can read this article in The Daily Star<\/a> (main English paper in Lebanon), whose survey essentially shows that nearly all of Lebanon is behind Hezbollah. Or you can read a commentary<\/a> by the academic dean of the Arab Baptist Theological Seminary. Think believers might have something in common? Less than you might think. (I’d like to see what a former<\/span> Lebanese evangelical believer says; my guess is that there’s a big difference between those who currently live in Lebanon and those who are no longer subject to the wrath of Hezbollah.) Or you can read the rantings<\/a> of a Baptist pastor in Tennessee. (Which only suggests that the word “Baptist” is meaningless if our views are 100% opposite.)<\/p>\n

For something more accurate, Locusts & Honey<\/a> has a good, short round-up of why everyone would do well to be slow in jumping to conclusions in condemning Israel. I’m not sure that all of his sources are accurate though (conservatives too often jump the gun and argue for a possible<\/span> but not proven conclusion).<\/p>\n

The Head of the Moor has 10 questions<\/a> he wants you to answer about the war. My answer to #6 (should Syria be held responsible?) is this Daniel Pipes<\/a>‘ column from today.<\/p>\n
