Diary of an Israeli pilot.

It's strange how the focus in these missions is not to succeed, hit the target precisely, but rather - not to make any mistakes. The message is clear all the way from the Squadron commander to the last pilot. One mistake can jeopardize the whole war, like in Kfar-Kana, in one of the last operations in Lebanon, where artillery bombarded a refugee camp, killing over 100 people, which resulted in international pressure that halted the operation.

Esteemed almost-Yale professor Juan Cole doesn't agree

If the reports coming out of Lebanon can be believed, the Israelis are only sometimes striking known Hizbullah safe houses or facilities or missile emplacements. A lot of their bombardment appears aimed at punishing civilian populations and forcing them north to Beirut. Such an approach would help explain the high number of civilian casualties. That is, there may be an element of ethnic cleansing in Israeli tactics.

An "element of ethnic cleansing"? It either is or isn't - why can't he just be a man and call the Israelis Nazis.  In either case, "a lot of the bombardment" is not what Hizbollah is using against Israeli civilians, it's "all of ".

Well,  it's 95 degrees in New York and things start shutting down.  It's 99 degrees here in Dallas with a forecast high of 106 and we're doing just fine thank yo....oh sh*t there go the lights.... (Just kidding). :-)
