Israeli Girls Write Messages on Lebanon-Bound Shells
A nauseating sign of the times: Preteen Israeli girls at a heavy artillery position in northern Israel are photographed apparently gleefully scrawling their names and other inscriptions on shells destined to be dropped on Lebanon.

But to see children doing the writing is almost beyond the pale.
