That's exactly what the US heard from friends and allies after 9/11. "Show restraint!" There were also a number of snide comments about gunslingers, dumb cowboys, and shooting from the hip, but who's counting.
And how do we think of those "friends"
Freedom fries anyone?
Also this is more then a general call for restraint- which would be bad enough.
This is implied support for a Government (in Beirut) which is composed of terrorists with which Israel (and presumably the US- the threat to bomb the tunnels in NYC last week had Hizbolla connections) are at war.
It's hypocricy and idiocy.
