It seems to me that if the entire world will hate you, no matter what you do, then you have the freedom to do whatever you want. The US and Israel spend all their time frozen in inaction, afraid that the press will complain and that the terrorists will attack. But the press are complaining and the terrorists are attacking anyway. So by all logic, there's nothing stopping us from blowing up the people and places that so desperately need blowing up. Or maybe I've simply been living south of the Mason-Dixon line for too long. "That boy needed killin'" sounds like a better justification every day. I suppose I’ll never understand global politics.
