miriam's ideas: Baby-killer exchanged for two corpses

What a terrific deal!

I am so mad I could spit. The Lebanese are dancing in the streets! They know what is going on: they won, Israel lost.

I wanted to scream: Morons, that's what you advocated for! Happy now?

As somebody noted, this stupidity is a signal for all future kidnappings (and there'll be many) - you don't have to keep the Jew alive, you'll get his corpse's price in gold no matter what.

I don't like Olmert (who does?) but I think he had to do this. I just hope they have a plan to take down the baby killer soonest. Maybe what Israel really needs is a death penalty, in which case this creature would be dead by now.; 7:06 PM
