| "Reality doesn't care whether or not you think it's fair." |

| Jim Geraghty, "Morning Jolt" newsletter (Free subscription available at the link.) . . . the world has a lot of Rachel Corries, doesn't it? An armored bulldozer with momentum is not persuaded by your shining moral clarity. Bullets do not alter their courses because you are an outsider trying to make a bold statement about the necessity of peace in a region that hasn't known it in centuries. And when the Israeli Navy says "Stop," they're not joking around. You may think their order to stop is the most unjust thing since the last issue that got you to stand around and chant at a building, but ignoring it brings predictable hard consequences. Reality doesn't care whether or not you think it's fair. . . . |

| #3 I still think the Israelis should declare the 20 mile zone outside Gaza's waters to be a commercial ship free zone and any ship entering it will be detained with deadly force and/or sunk. Half-measures are evil your Lordship. |

| #1 If you start beating on soldiers with steel bars, sooner or later you will suffer bad consequences. And take note, the soldiers were there lawfully, the passengers and boat were not. And all the other bots had no problems at all like this. Only the boat where the "passengers" got violent were the ones where people were shot. |
