Зачем нужно было покушение на Рантиси?
Армянского радио отвечает: видимо, чтобы его убить.

Bush Goes Soft On Terror

By James Taranto

Sad news from Gaza City, where Hamas honcho Abdel Aziz Rantisi is still alive and two bystanders are dead in a failed Israeli helicopter strike. The White House, bizarrely, is criticizing Israel. "The president is concerned that the strike will undermine efforts by Palestinian authorities and others to bring an end to terrorist attacks and does not contribute to the security of Israel," says spokesman Ari Fleischer. "The president is deeply troubled by the strike."

Israel should ignore what Bush says and do what he does. The U.S. has "assassinated" numerous terrorist leaders since Sept. 11, and Israel has as much right to defend itself as America does. One further bit of advice for the Israelis: Next time, make sure you actually kill the guy.

Moral Unequivalence
-------------------
Here's an interesting passage from a Los Angeles Times story on the Mideast "peace process":

"Much like the Jewish settlers who declare that they will fight to keep their homes, Hamas and Islamic Jihad are spoilers who see little gain for themselves in backing the peace process, because their long-standing pledge is to regain all the land Palestinians lost when the state of Israel was established in 1948."

Sure, Hamas and Islamic Jihad want to drive Israel into the ocean, but the Jews are extremists too. They want to keep their homes!
