Those numbers could be reversed if Israel just let Hezbollah launch rockets into civilian populations, however, being that there were over 12,000 rockets dispersed throughout Lebanon, primarily Beiruit, the Lebanese bear the grunt of the casualities... (an estimate 1/4% of their stockpile have been destroyed)
Kids drawing on bombs is disturbing and wrong. However, to look at the other side of the coin, it is also sick and twisted that groups like Hamas and Hezbollah teach 'The Protocols or the Elders of Zion' as fact in their schools, and inculcate the divinity of being a homocide bomber to children as well...
If Hezbolla, Hamas, and the rest of the Islamic Jihadist had their way and had technology advanced enough those 10-1 numbers would be reversed...
The negotiations for the solidiers may be coated with some propaganda, however the heart of the issue to cease the violence in Lebanon is Hizbollah's disarmament.
The ball is in their court, if they really care about the Lebanese people, their infastructer and well being, they will have to take these steps. Otherwise, it is evident that Hizbollah has even less regard for the Lebanese citizens than Israel, and is willing to use the people of Lebanon as pawns, just as most of the Muslim countries use the Palastinians as pawns to fuel their hate and desire for a destruction of Israel...
