Just a thought ....
Hold the phone a sec ... Israel shoots some laser targeted missiles at known sites of Hizboohoo "fighters" and because "innocents" die, Israel is satanic. BUT, hizboohoo shoots off hundreds of missiles WITHOUT ANY NOTION of striking a military target -- that is with the intent to kill civilians -- and that is OK by most of the media.
Hmmm. Israel's army is legitimate and represents the country for which it fights and in which it is based. And if they cause collateral damage in the pursuit of legitimate military targets, they are cold blooded killers. Hizbbrouhaha, does not represent the country in which it is based, is theoretically not a formal army organization (a grass roots militia for self protection) and TARGETS innocents (well at least non-combatants, because to be Israeli in Shia eyes is to be guilty) and they are "heros."
You can't have it both ways: if Hizbahola is a legitimate defense organization, then they MUST be held to the same standards in the press as the Israelis. If they were held to those standards, then they would be labeled "murderers." If they are not legitimate in the sense of projecting the valid goals of a sovereign state, or even culture ... then they are terrorists. And murderers almost by definition.
So there you have it folks, murderers. And our press is too dishonest to acknowledge it. The New York Times gives the terrorists a free ride and the very professional Israelis are child killers. Wait a sec, didn't the Viet Cong get a free ride, too?
Speaking of murder, did you see Tiger's treatment of the field at the Buick? He shot 66-66-66-66. No random Katyusha shots into Haifa there, boy-o. More like 3rd generation laser guided munitions. I sent my father an email before the (British) Open. The gist was ... watch out, for the express is coming through. Let's see what Medinah brings .... Medinah, BTW is arabic for "city."
