DISAPPOINTMENT AND DISCOURAGEMENT

Reader comment on item: Hezbollah's Victory, Israel's Decline

Submitted by BETTY LEAGUE (United States), Feb 4, 2004 at 10:59

The title of my comments aptly expresses my opinion regarding your article.

I have always admired Israel's "WE WILL NEVER NEGOTIATE WITH TERRORISTS!" resolve. And now this.

What a horrible example to set for the rest of the world. Perhaps the grieving families should have turned to God- not government for solace.

I PRAY TO GOD FOR HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE. THEY NEVER SEEM TO REMEMBER THE LESSONS OF HISTORY. IT'S DISAPPOINTING AND DISCOURAGING.
