Justice?

I ask all you respectable bloggers out there a question. Does it make sense to destroy innocents' homes and kill their residents? War is a horrible thing indeed. People do die during wars, true. But how can one people understand the gestures of the other if horrible, senseless things are being done?
There are two sides to this equation. Two different people seperated by a transparent border are suffering in their own ways. All we see here is our destruction, all you see there is your destruction. We need to come to our senses, we need to listen to each other. But none of that will happen if both sides continue harrassing innocent civilians. Every time a house is bombed, wherever it is, the residents of that house will suddenly transform into the same people they always detested. Its just a vicious cycle...
The following is the extract of the accounts of a New York Times journalist in South Lebanon. Please do tell me, does this make any sense? Is this humane?

The earsplitting crack hit just a few blocks from the mayor’s office, where Ghassan Farran, a doctor and member of the city council, was sitting Tuesday night. He dropped to the floor. Pieces of debris flew through an open window. An Israeli bomb had pulverized a seven-story building a short distance away. Mr. Farran stood up and walked to the window. The lights were out. A giant cloud of black smoke filled the sky.
“This is the new Middle East,” he said, his voice shaking with anger.

Mr. Husseini, the mayor, who presides over 67 villages in the Tyre region, said that in the worst-hit areas, bodies were still buried under the rubble, and he appealed to the Israelis to allow government authorities time to pull them out. Dogs were even eating them, he said.
“Who can accept this?” he said. “If we send ambulances, they bomb them.”
As for the food delivery, he tried to be optimistic. “When there will be roads, we’ll bring it to the people.”
