I wrote to a Lebanese blogger that the primary responsibility of IDF is to defend its citizens, all other considerations are secondary. She replied that I had joined the ranks of war mongers and asked me not to write in her journal any more.

I can do that. She is under a lot of stress and I sympathize.

However, it is exactly this attitude that prevents the Lebanese army from taking control over Hizballah and the Lebanese government from taking control over the country. Now a foreign army has to do it for them, and it is not pretty.

No links.

Update. OK, a link [private].

Update 2006/08/03. Now she has banned me. Just like [livejournal.com profile] m_p. :-) Well, at least [livejournal.com profile] m_p is out of the danger of war.

I'm not surprised. I think internet neologism "Fisking" was created to describe a typical left propaganda.

Fisking means commenting a text, line by line, and showing its fallacy and utter idiocy. While the term originated among the right side of the blogosphere (since they were fisking Fisk, who is considered to be on the left side), anybody could be fisked.

BTW, Fisk is not typical, he is extreme.

It's a blessing that I have such intelligent friends, who can comment on my comments, "line by line, showing its utter idiocy." :)
