Jed Babbin: Proportionality Pecksniffs Contributed by Bill Faith
The Washington Post's has yet another tiresome liberal take today on the "disproportionate" response by Israel to the Hizballah rocket attacks and the kidnapping of two Israeli soldiers. As all the other libs, EUnuchs and UN types have before him, Robinson bemoans the fact that, "Proportionate military action might have enhanced Israel's security, but video footage of grandmothers weeping amid the rubble of their homes and bloodied children lying in hospital beds won't make Israel more secure." But Robinson never defines what "proportionate" means. What "proportional" military action is enough to make Israel more secure without leaving civilian homes in rubble?

Lest anyone have any doubts, you fire one shot at me or mine and I'm going to keep right on shooting back till one of us is dead as hell. I think it's time for Israel (and the U.S.) to announce that same attititude as national policy.
