off topic ANyone ever heard of someone getting a traffic ticket for "inattentive driving"? and if so...How the hell do you think that is anything but a subjective call by the alleged COP that is trying to make his ticket quota?

Overwhelming force and proportionality (excerpt)

For limited objectives, proportionality may suffice. But when the strategic objectives are far-reaching proportionality will defeat its purpose
Prof. Uzi Arad

From Canning and Disraeli in 19th century Britain to Weinberger and Powell in the United States in the 20th century, an established principle has been that the use of force, once its necessity was determined, should be implemented through a concentration of overwhelming force.

Yet, it is an open question as to why Israel, after deciding to use force against the Hizbullah threat, has as of yet refrained from exercising it to the fullest extent.

For limited objectives, proportionality may suffice. But when the strategic objectives are far-reaching, as those of the current campaign are, proportionality will defeat its purpose.

Thanks, I read an article while ago about Russia's denial that they've supplied such weaponry. I'll visit.

If you threw stones at an American Policeman, you'd be DEAD, in self-defense....

Or peppered with rubber bullets in an America's stupidest Criminals video.....

That's a new one on me. Seems like they could give that ticket to 99% of drivers.

The graffiti translates:

Hezbollah Militia Combat Cam & Concealment Training Centre.

The torn billposter is about a the Schick/Gillette shop closing down sale.
