Martyrdom beckons Lebanese teen, but she really wants to direct: January 15, 2009, 07:03 PM

Hiba Qassir dreams of making movies. She's ambitious and precocious enough. At 18, she's taught herself how to edit video and sound on a computer, and has her sights set on directing gripping social and psychological dramas.

But if the movie business doesn't work out, that's OK. She has other dreams: perhaps to become a cop or a pilot. Or maybe a suicide bomber.



Parents bring children to walk through the exhibit, past the posters of martyrs and works of art commemorating their deeds, which usually involved ramming vehicles packed with explosives into Israeli positions. A preteen boy with a messy mop of brown hair takes photographs of mannequins of bearded Hezbollah fighters praying in the battlefield.

"This operation was done by Ibrahim Jamil Daher," Hiba says, pointing toward one of the displays. "It was first a battle against a team of 22 Israelis. It wasn't supposed to be a martyrdom operation. But when he found it was a good opportunity to make such an operation, he took advantage of the situation and did it."

She adds with satisfaction: "It took the lives of so many Israelis."

This is why living in that part of the world sucks period. Frankly if I was living in the Middle East I would just shoot myself in the head.

Stop the terror.

Israel does the dirty work of defeating terror! (yes, even when they hide behind children and women.. this is how they are.. and israel is trying to avoid hurting any innocents, sometimes it doesn't work.. this is unavoidable)

General Patton said it in his speech too the Third Army. " No dumb baster ever won a war by ying for his country. He won it because he made another dumb bastar die for his country." Kill them all Israel. Let go sort it out.
