The war that never ends

"Why let a little thing like an unprovoked attack by Hezbollah terrorists who fired shells into northern Israel from southern Lebanon in violation of a previous "peace agreement" (a 16-year-old Israeli boy was killed and five others wounded, including an infant) stall the road map to perdition, uh, peace?

The scenario is more predictable than a summer television rerun. Terrorists launch attacks against Israelis and are condemned, sometimes by their own leaders (wink, wink). Israel responds with an attack in an effort to root out the terrorists and stop further violence. The United States and others condemn the Israeli counterattack with far more vehemence than accorded the terrorists' attacks. American officials pressure Israel not to respond "disproportionately" (whatever that means) and pledge renewed efforts to make peace in the region."



This means Israel must "do more" to satisfy the insatiable appetite of her enemies, who see the land already given up as merely an appetizer and the rest of Israel as the main course."
