IT SEEMS REALLY QUITE STRANGE THAT ALMOST EVERY TIME AMERICAN OR ISRAELI WARPLANES BOMB TERRORIST POSITIONS IN THE MIDDLE EAST THERE IS AN UPROAR FROM MANY ON THE LEFT. IF THIS SAME ATTITUDE HAS EXISTED IN WWII THE WAR AGAINST THE NAZIS WOULD STILL BE GOING ON. WE BOMBED THE CRAP OUT OF GERMAN CITIES AND LEFT THEM IN RUINS AND THAT ALONG WITH THE GROUND INVASION OF HITLER'S HOMELAND IS WHAT BROUGHT THEM TO THEIR KNEES. TODAY HOWEVER, WE LIVE IN A PC WORLD WHERE WE MUST FIGHT WARS WITH ONE HAND BEHIND OUR BACKS. THE RESULT OF THIS IS THAT WE HAVE SEEMINGLY ENDLESS WARS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WARS THAT IF ENDED QUICKLY WOULD CAUSE LESS PAIN TO THE CIVILIAN POPULATION THAN TODAY'S PROTRACTED CONFLICTS. WAR IS NOT A GAME AND SHOULD NOT BE FOUGHT WITH RESTRICTIVE RULES. POLITICAL CORRECTNESS, IN THE END, WILL ONLY PROLONG MILITARY ACTION AND LEAD TO A OUTCOME THAT NEITHER SIDE WANTS. AND ONE THAT WILL LEAD AGAIN TO ANOTHER CONFLICT TO BRING ABOUT THAT FINAL SOLUTION THAT WAS SOUGHT IN THE FIRST PLACE.
