| War, like all obscenities, breeds perversion. Much as we have grown to know war, we were still shocked by the perversity of the one man whose job it is in wartime to most directly inspire nobility, unity of purpose, trust, sensitivity to comrades, reasoned judgment under fire and, above all, focus. The blood had not yet dried on Israel's side of the border with Lebanon. Eight soldiers lay dead, two others kidnapped across the footprint strip and the tripwire fence and the concertina wire and the chain link, into Hezbollah's heartland in Lebanon. |

| #2 Lemme guess. Haaretz, Israel's left-wing daily opposes the war. But the vast majority of its readers support it. So this is Haaretz's politically-acceptable way of attacking the war, by attacking the personalities that started it. This is really, really lame. Note that the criticism is really about the war happening at all - there's no substantive criticism about how it was conducted - the focus on air raids, its tentative nature, the piecemeal introduction of forces instead of a blitzkrieg, et al. I still remember the sleazy Israeli bureaucrat who was interviewed by Haaretz over the Pentagon's nixing of the Israeli AWACS sale to China - he said that this was because Uncle Sam was hoping to sell to the Chinese directly. This editorial shows that Haaretz is as sleazy as the people it interviews. |
