Day after day, we hear people pissed because civilians are dying in Lebanon. I never heard the same outrage back in the 90s in the Balkan war.

There was outrage. But the media wasn't in the business THEN to try to sabatoge a sitting president.

Which Balkan War?
The most recent one? Serbia has no oil, but Milosevic cracked down on Islamist Albanians who were protected by the US.
US has major airbase in Kosovo as the Albanians continue to wreck any Serbian religious monuments.
The Paradox is that the US protected Islamist terrorists by bombing a Christian nation back to the Stone Age. The Serbs are resiliant, but took a heavy blow.
Of course, Israel likes watching Christian nations get blown up. Their ultimate goal is to destroy Russia as payback for "anti-Semitism from the day one."

Because it is only bad and horrible and outrageous if Jews are doing the killing.
Because, I suppose, that the left-leaning media (it is, there is no room for dispute in this assessment) hates Israel. Look at their treatment in Europe and by the Red Cross, etc. Look at the international media orgs pushing doctored photos.
800,000 Rwandans die while UN troops in Rwanda bravely sit in their barracks. 1,000,000 dead in Darfur. 1,000 Iraqis murdered by the terrorist insurgents monthly. 1,000's of Jews killed over the years by suicide bombers.
Ho hum, no big deal.
Then the Israelis, responding to acts of war, fight back against an illegal combatant force / shadow government in S. Lebanon. They attack weapons placed near populated buildings, violating all conventions of war, and being the cause of civilian casualties, and that is all of a sudden a great horrible outrageous thing?
If you cannot discern the great amount of bias in this 'outrage' over Lebanese deaths, then you have let yourself be blinded.

they have nothing to offer to UN or US
Same is the story at Rwanda, Darfur etc but not much is being said or done internationally for any of these countries 'cos they have nothing to offer but their poverty!
Peace
