WB: A Parting of the Ways

Billmon:

But the fundamental difference of interest (existential versus optional) remains, and the isolationist tide continues to build. This wouldn’t be a problem if the allies were winning, but the losses are mounting up. As in any marriage, adversity doesn’t decrease the chances of divorce, it increases them.

I missed this, ‘All those now in south Lebanon are terrorists’ – Haim Ramon
“We received yesterday at the Rome conference permission from the world… to continue the operation,” Israeli Justice Minister Haim Ramon said.
Mr Ramon – a close confidant of Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Olmert – said “everyone understands that a victory for Hezbollah is a victory for world terror”.
He said that in order to prevent casualties among Israeli soldiers battling Hezbollah militants in southern Lebanon, villages should be flattened by the Israeli air force before ground troops moved in.
He added that Israel had given the civilians of southern Lebanon ample time to quit the area and therefore anyone still remaining there could be considered a Hezbollah supporter.
“All those now in south Lebanon are terrorists who are related in some way to Hezbollah,” Mr Ramon said.

This may seem like just another intramural squabble over conservative doctrine (should we save the world before we destroy it? Or destroy it and then save it?)
That is a good one

“everyone understands that a victory for Hezbollah is a victory for world terror”
Oddly enough, it’s Hezbollah that supports a ceasefire, along with the rest of the world (save 2?)
