While it is easy to think ‘terrorist = bad’ and just label everyone that had one of these pagers a ‘terrorist’, I agree...it’s hard to imagine that there weren’t some very innocent people that got badly hurt. Just because they knew who it was being shipped to doesn’t mean the only people who receive a pager was some ‘Hezbollah fighter’.

If you’re just a regular civilian in those areas, you’d consider this a terrorist attack that deserves payback.

That said, this is all a different kind of war - but that doesn’t mean the ethical considerations shouldn’t be examined, especially on ‘our’ side.

War is hell.

Deal with it.
