The world doesn't need another excuse to condem Israel...it happens pretty much monthly.
But this war does fit the pattern of behavior, Israeli military action causing much civilian pain and suffering with little to no clear advantage when it's all said and done.
What's worse is that like Iraq, the initial objectives were so absurdly grand that to not achieve them is a net
loss.
Our difficulty in Iraq has done much to strengthen the position of Iran, and so does a failed attempt to remove Hezbollah.
