Or maybe some nice Israeli martketplaces blown up by suicide bombers (or 'witnesses," as the arabic word more accurately translates). How about doing a better job of explaing how the terrorists hide amid civilians so the casualties (and thus, pics of sad, sad Lebanese) can be higher? There are plenty of ways journalists can portray this fighting more objectively. I would suggest the MSM show some pictures of Israelis who have borne the brunt of Hezbollah attacks for years.
