Not a bad rant, but it really belongs in the George Will column thread.
I disagree.
It's good enough to stand on it's own.
I thought about that, and actually began it that way. But the problem is that it really is much bigger than George Will, and his column. He is a snowflake.
The idea permeates the entire Middle East, and those who cover them, that since the terrorists in southern Lebanon are not officially paid by Lebanon- any Israeli retaliation against the Lebanese who shelter them is a matter of collateral killing of innocents.
This is nonsense.
Every population knows, admit it or not, that everything they allow to take place within their borders against another state, is an act of their state.
This ongoing fiction of innocent populations must stop.
If you keep killer dogs in your yard, and open the gates at night, it won't be the dogs in court later.
You own the consequences of what you permitted... and cheered for.
