We Live in Amazing Times
Really, we do. I'm sure in a few years this'll look like the stone age, but for now, it's quite something. We see pictures of a war 1/3 a world away almost as soon as they're taken.
And we also fall for some of the most insidious propaganda.
Follow this link http://eureferendum.blogspot.com/2006/07/milking-it.html to see what I mean. To summarize, the same green-helmeted "aid" worker in Qana is photographed during the course of the day holding the same poor dead child up to show the world what animals the Israelis are.
Never mind that that Israel blanketed the area with leaflets begging people to leave, never mind that Hezbollah is deliberately targeting civilian areas, and never mind that the cowards in Hezbollah continue to use human shields day in and day out.
Now further analysis at http://confederateyankee.mu.nu/archives/188571.php offers proof that the event was staged by Hezbollah with already-in-rigor bodies (showing no signs of ever being crushed in a blown-up building)
Mark Steyn recently wrote: "We live in an age of inversely proportional deterrence: The more militarily powerful a civilized nation is, the less its enemies have to fear the full force of that power ever being unleashed. They know America and other Western powers fight under the most stringent self-imposed etiquette. Overwhelming force is one thing; overwhelming force behaving underwhelmingly as a matter of policy is quite another."
And to top it off, we have the world media acting as Hezbollah's stooges.
God help us all.
