70 not 400

[Jon Ford]

How could anyone know just how many are dead anyhow, with the country in the 
shambles it's in now and most communications networks down?
The point about civilian deaths is that they will be coming en masse this 
winter, not from direct bombing hits, which clearly are primarily targeting 
military stuff, but in the camps around the border areas. I heard yesterday 
that a couple of hundred thousand were massed and spilling over into 
Pakistan at one border control point alone. And the winter's not here 
yet.Now if they get over the border, we can say they died of starvation and 
exposure in Pakistan, so it's the Pakistanis' fault.And what kind of 
mind-set is bred in those camps? You got it-- the terrorist way. It's 
similar with the camps surrounding Israel, such as the ones in south 
Lebanon, and the ones that still exist in parts of the Palestinian-controled 
areas. Whose brain is it, anyway, that is so full of blind spots that it 
just passes over realities like these?
