The conflict widens with Israeli raids on Hezbollah in Lebanon, civilian casualties rising, and talks for an immediate ceasefire led by U N secretary general Kofi Annan and Lebanon’s prime minister Fuad Siniora. If Israel invades, it risks a bitter outcome.
The Chicago Tribune weighs peril if war drags on or a cease fire favors Hezbollah. It notes Hezbollah’s capture of Israeli soldiers and ties to Syria and Iran, while Lebanon’s Siniora government remains unable to disarm Hezbollah. U.N. envoy Reed-Larsen says the army could operate in the south but lacks political orders. Israel and Lebanon face hard choices as civil conflict risks rise.

A reader argues that civilian deaths in Iraq implicate leaders as much as soldiers. The letter critiques late ethics training for troops, questions accountability of Bush era policies, and notes the alleged collateral damage from the initial Shock and Awe campaign.
Editor letters attack Senator Edward Kennedy, accusing him of power plays and cover ups linked to the Mary Jo Kopechne tragedy.
