First, where was it shown that the Christians massacred at Damour had committed atrocities against Palestinians? Some Lebanese Christians had, but were these the guilty parties - looks like pure supposition to assume so - in order to avoid finding any fault with the left's annointed perpetual victims - the Palestinians. For the Damour massacre to be described as revenge the people killed at Damour would have had to have been guilty of committing an earlier atrocity themselves. If it had been an act of revenge targeted against individuals personally guilty of atrocities, I would not have been so critical.

Second, the war against AlQaida and the Taliban can be justified as an attempt to prevent future attacks and not just revenge. Though I have no problem with revenge for that matter if properly targeted.

And I assume you approve of American revenge as well.
