You expect me to hold a government other than my own accountable?Hurkyl said:That's a lovely sounding ideal. But an entirely ridiculous standard to try to hold a government to... and it's not even reasonable to hold individuals to such a standard.
What was the term you used..."entirely ridiculous."
It takes two to tango.Hurkyl said:Why equal? In what ways is Hezbollah guilty? In what ways is Israel guilty? How did you weigh all those factors against each other to determine that they should be equally guilty?
Iran and Syria as well almost every other nation that has become involved should accept some culpability. I mentioned the US because I am an American. As an American I will exercise my right to criticize the actions of my government until they take those rights away. Then I will criticize LOUDER!Hurkyl said:Why does that earn the US a portion of the blame? And why is the US's portion of the blame worth bringing up over any other particular party's portion of the blame?
The end result is that civilians are bearing the brunt of the attack and Israel is losing International support.Hurkyl said:That one's easy -- AFAIK the bombers are generally after rocket caches and rocket launchers, not guerrillas.
Yes. My first thought was ban bait.Hurkyl said:Don't you think this sounds suspicious?
