Lebanese Flee from South
http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20060721/ts_nm/mideast1_dc_3

"Families with possessions packed into cars and pickup trucks clogged roads to the north after Israeli planes dropped leaflets warning residents of south Lebanon to flee for safety beyond the Litani river, about 20 km (13 miles) from the border.

An estimated 300,000 mostly Shi'ite Muslim Lebanese normally reside south of the Litani. There was no word on how many have already fled the bombing and fighting of the past few days. Air raids have wrecked many roads and bridges in the region."

Ok, how are you gonna destroy almost all the roads and then act like you are being all humanitarian because you're dropping leaflets warning civilians to flee, knowing the roads are bombed?

2. It will when the Israeli army stops bombing Lebanon. As in, no time soon.
