From S.: "Once again, the eyewitnesses saw and heard the planes swooping. Whether or
not one can actually see the bombs drop, they would have been too far away to
see them anyway. They could see it was the university. They knew their young
relatives were there. Long before they had any access to any media. They
frantically searched the site and the morgue when their relatives didn't answer
their phones. I know these people would not lie to me because they were talking
about their own loved ones. I know it is possible to figure out roughly where
the planes are bombing because you see them swoop then count the seconds till
you hear the bang. Do this for a year and you become very good at estimating it.
Do it when you have a largely unobstructed view and it becomes obvious.
I am certainly not a revolution groupie. My family are in the middle of
this carnage and they refuse to abandon our extended family and many others who
need help. We suffer no matter who bombs us. So no need to be afraid of me
because I'm simply a civilian who is sick of armchair analysts. I am also
afraid.for myself and my family and my city and my country. So I would ask your
frightened Lebanese commenter to take off his sectarian eyeglasses and behold a
country being destroyed by its own government and its own people, ably assisted
by every asshole who wants a piece of it."
PS This is Angry Arab speaking: I categorically reject the description of "sectarian" to my comrade in the post cited. S. does not know the person, and I do.
