No I'm not. I read the article on top of this thread just like everyone else.
What I see is a story about IDF troops calling U.S. Marines names, and trying to test their lines.
Then I continue to read, and see that Hezbullah Terrorists murdered a bunch of sleeping Marines and diplomats, shelled our boys at the airport, shot at them with sniper fire.
And that's supposed to be a "balanced view". It's rediculous. What the IDF did, compared to what the Hezbullah and PLO were doing are incomparable and not worthy of being in the same story.
It's absurd to argue that we can't talk about the crap our friends pulled on us because our enemies did worse. Sharon has been a disaster for Israel. His settlement scheme in the occupied territories guarantees that Israel (and the U.S. too) will suffer nothing but grief for the next 50 years. Sharon is a bull-headed tank commander who has risen so far above his level of incompetence he's a danger to us all. Yet we can't even bring it up because Hezbollah bombed the Marine barracks? Well, screw that.
