Seems to be that the Israel-Lebanon battle has now boiled down to a global sympathy war based on who has the moral high ground. Does Hezbollah hide among Lebanese civilians, using them as human shields, and thus Israel has no choice but to bomb civilian areas? Or are Israeli forces intentionally targeting Lebanese civilians to intimidate and destroy their will to support Hezbollah? (Which would, ironically, be the same tactics used by terrorists). Sullivan says yes, Salon.com says no, and my posting about Israel's civilian targeting in Gaza here. Summary? Wars take civilian lives, and for as long as Sherman marched on Atlanta, civilian targeting will continue to be a tactic. Solution? Stop whining and call the cease fire already.
Me? An extremely simple man.
