OK. I think that anything you buy from an "anonymous" seller, you should assume there is a strong chance it is defective. But we have beat that one to death.
On the other subject, if you were running Israel how would have you responded to the kidnapping of the two soldiers? Or how would you have handled it differently?
To me it seems the goals are getting the soldiers back, stopping the shelling of northern Israel but at the same time not distabilizing the Lebanese government and not killing a lot of civilians. It seems to me that you can't accomplish all these goals so you have to pick and choose. Am I wrong?
