Unfortunately you are very right.  When most Americans, Christians especially, refer to or pray for peace in the Middle East, what they really mean is just for Israel and Israel's benefit.  We seem to see every other country in the region as a mortal enemy and that translates into peopl acting and forming opinions based purely on blind prejudice and hate.  It's wrong.  It makes me happy to see diplomats here emphasizing the tragedy of civilian life lost on both sides (not that ther is tragedy to emphasize, but that they recognize it) and sad when I watch the news and see those commercials you talked about in between.  I was sitting at home the other night muttering at the TV "What about the Lebanese?"  As instruments of God's love we should be concerned for all people who suffer no matter what their citizenship, skin-color, political affiliation or religious belief.  People who only focus on American lives lost, or Americans trapped in the crisis area make me angry too, but that's a whole nother issue.  Thanks for ranting.
