Rice tells lies and WaPo publishes them

My letter to the Washington Post earlier this week, in response to Rice's op-ed piece:


In the op-ed "A Path to Lasting Peace", Ms. Rice says that "For the past month the United States has worked urgently to end the violence that Hezbollah and its sponsors have imposed on the people of Lebanon and Israel."

How can she claim to have been trying to end the violence while the USA has been shipping bombs to Israel? How is that working urgently to end the violence? I have seen many pictures on the internet of bomb fragments in Lebanon with English writing on them, clearly showing they were made in the USA. And I have seen many pictures of huge piles of rubble with large hand-lettered signs that say "Made in USA" on them. The people of Lebanon know the truth, and Ms. Rice's first sentence in her opinion piece is a flat-out lie. (And, there are pictures of the "Made in the USA" signs below.)
