Collateral Damage

As reported in the Sydney Morning Herald a Chief of operations (Salah Shehada) who was responsible for many terror plots was assassinated 9 years ago along with dozens of civilians.

Israel initially stated success, and then retracted the statement as many civilian bodies started to surface, and among those mostly were woman, and children.

Over the weekend Jerusalem courts decided the case in wrongful deaths of a dozen civilians as deemed appropriate under the circumstances.

Well although I am glad that this terrorist was decommissioned I feel that for the most part technology should have had a better precision when dropping bombs from the sky. We see this all too much in history where its accepted as collateral damage. I would like to see at least some innovation in the near future.

Chevron might have to pay $$$$ to Equador

As reported a judge has awarded some 8 Billion dollar settlement for an alleged contamination Chevron inherited after purchasing the Texaco giant in 2001. Anyways the way I look at as cited in this article that Chevron is constantly being sued for toxic waste sludge ("but never has had to pay") I know this is real news. I think that just because the world needs oil my view would be if you make the sludge you clean the sludge its no difference, and applies to all of our lives. I wouldnt mind paying a little extra at the pump if I knew for a fact they would use it for these particular situations. Just saying.

Haiti devastated by campaigns

As reported in KSL, the current president will extend his term for three more months. Other parties do not agree, and protesters as reported seem to be gaining publicity. In Port-Au-Prince the people have been fatigued with riots, and hunger. It seems to me that having stability in this region is not a good idea, but a priority. I would like to say that if Haiti wasn't predominately black, the abundance of assistance would be redistributed a little different. Just saying...
misfortune after misfortune, why would these people have hope for change?
