Period.”

Obviously, Shlaim thinks it’s OK to rain unguided missiles on children, though. I suppose the strategic gain to Hezbollah justifies it. (And they ARE claiming victory, now.)

It’s embarrassing to me as an American when things like this get printed.

I find priceless your quip, “cocked a snook at the liberal country in which they’ve thrived”. Thank you for that one!
