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.

You do know we're also fighting the same PC war in Iraq right? And it drives me nuts. Unleash the US military and let them do what they can do, untie the other hand from behind thier damn backs, and get it on!

If we had to fight a PC war back in WWII we'd still be fighting today.

PC? By most accounts we've killed from the low 10's to nearly 100,000 civilians in Iraq...There's nothing PC about that.

Find a US Marine that was involved in the major Falluja offensive and ask them if they treaded lightly.

Political correctness is not our problem in Iraq, and it's not Israel's problem in Lebanon.
