Default Re: OT: Counter-Terrorism is a Farce

Lebanon is a nation too, even if there happen to be radicals there firing rockets into Israel. The Israeli attacks on targets in Lebanon looks extremely close to the suggestion Renegade 13 exageratedly made, except perhaps worse in that Israel attacks towns where they claim rockets come from, even if the attackers don't come from that town, but just stop there to fire rockets before moving on.

Israeli tactics would get a lot more sympathy from me if, when Lebanon fails to stop rocket attacks from within its borders, it duly notified Lebanon and then sent in men to find and shoot the actual attackers, instead of deciding to treat practically the entire population of Southern Lebanon (as well as UN observers...) as if it were hostile.
