What you're saying is, in this war of life and death, the elephant is upset because the pipsqueak refuses to play the game the elephant can easily win. What this amounts to is the argument that the Israelis must always be wrong, because you have defined them as the "elephants". This neatly obviates the problem of discussing Hizbullah's war crimes - because "pipsqueaks" can't commit any, right? How simple. All you have to do is figure out which side is more powerful, according to you, and all your moral dilemmas are instantly resolved. The powerful are war criminals, and the less powerful are innocent. However, your arguments are not logical. There is a difference between irregular warfare and terrorism; a difference between guerilla tactics and using your own civilians as body armor. It is the difference between forces that value life and forces that BOAST that they love death better than life. And you dare to call the neocons childish? You haven't even been able to comprehend their arguments.
