Swedish Toast

There was an article in our local-Ottawa-West-poor-excuse-for-a-newspaper (I can't even give you a link to it - it is print only) in which, on the front page no less, there was an article all about how Israel had every right to bomb the shit out of Lebanon since the Israelis were just defending themselves. Seems like the wrong forum for that kind of blame game, which can only ever be narrow and one-sided. Why not accept that there were aggressions on both sides? Unless these cluster bombs are just an advanced form of self-defence.

I guess "an advanced form of self-defence" is the popular term for any aggression. Perhaps we need more advanced forms of other-defence.
