The Bright Side?

Was our response in Aphganisan to 9/11 proportionate? AQ killed 3000. Does that mean we are only permitted to kill 3000 AQ? Fucking moronic.

The other thing that bugs me is why no one on the world stage goes after Hezbolla for targeting civilians, but when Israel has collateral damage (due to the fact that Hezbolla purposes integrates among civilians for protection) the world (read: EU) goes apeshit.

I swear to god I feel like I'm living in bizarro universe or Alice in Wonderland.
I would have no objection to Israel going after Hezbollah and their camps and training bases, as I have previously stated. Hezbollah is self-identified as a combatant organization and anyone who chooses to live with them is in effect throwing in with their fate.

What you are ignoring (or perhaps it didn't happen in Bizzaro universe where you're hanging out) is that (i) Israel's stated provocation was the killing of six soldiers and the kidnapping of two more and (ii) Israel's attacks on targets in Lebanon generally, not just Hezbollah strongholds.
