<we should have leveled Beirut with artillery. Horrible as that sounds, 3,000 New Yorkers would be alive now if we had.>

We should never have been in Lebanon in the first place.

Nadine, you say that everything would have been fine if only we had killed more people sooner. You look up to Israel for its brutal policies -- I do not. Nor do I admire seeing the United States come under the political control of Israeli-style policies -- it is beneath us as a great and civilized power to behave as Israel does. It is time you did a better job of being clear about which of your statements are clearly intended to reflect the political interests of Israel and which are statements that reflect the political and security interests of the United States -- they are not the same thing.
