Nothing flippant about those comments (which stand unrefuted). 9/11 was a tragedy. But, as usual, you have your analogy precisely backwards. America is almost universally an aggressor, whereas Hezbollah is almost universally a defender against aggression, so American civilians are virtually the opposite of Lebanese civilians. The proper analogy would be Israeli civilians dying as a result of the immoral aggression of the Israeli military. It is noteworthy that you make an anology between the Israeli Army and Al Qaeda. Rather bold, I dare say. It is less noteworthy (because it is so predictable) that you don't care about people dying, but you do care about money being spent. Tom
