Both Israel and the US emerge from the Lebanon Disaster as MORALLY DAMAGED GOODS.
What little credibility the US had in the world is now totally lost.
The US and Israel stand alone in the world as Rogue States, with little regard for human life...especally the lives of non-white or Muslim peoples.
Bush's War on Terror has make the US the most hated country in the world, just as Sharon's Wars on Arabs made Israel the most hated country in the middle east.
If we learned anything during the Lebanon Massacre it may be the TWILIGHT OF AIR POWER...AS AN EFFECTIVE WEAPON.
WITHOUT MORAL AUTHORITY, AIR POWER IS MERELY A GROSS OBSCENITY AT BEST AND A WAR CRIME AT WORST.
