How to Wage War

We could learn a few lessons in warfare from Israel.

Israeli warplanes fired missiles at dozens of targets across southern Lebanon overnight, including buildings that were reduced to rubble and a Hezbollah base where long-range rockets were stored, the military said.

Israeli defense forces said aircraft hit a total of 130 targets in Lebanon on Thursday and early Friday, including a Hezbollah base in the Bekaa Valley, where long-range rockets were stored, and 57 Hezbollah structures, six missile launching sites and six communication facilities.

Israeli jets fired missiles at a three-story building near the southern Lebanon market town of Nabatiyeh, destroying the building and killing a Jordanian man who was hit by shrapnel in a nearby home, Lebanese security officials.

The building housed a construction company believed to be owned by a Hezbollah activist, the officials said on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to talk with the media. The strike also wounded four children nearby, they said.

Too bad, so sad. Four children wounded. Israel is not allowing Hezbollah to use innocent people as human shields. They are attacking tactical targets regardless of the fact that these mighty Hezbollah "fighters" are hiding behind the skirts of women and the cradles of babies. Thanks to liberals, staying on a moral highhorse has become more important than killing the enemy. Liberals don't accept that war is hell. Liberals don't accept that in every war, innocents die. We've faced monsters before. The Nazis were monsters. We bombed entire German cities. The Japanese were monsters. We bombed entire Japanese cities. Communists are monsters. Unfortunately, we haven't killed nearly as many Communists as we should have. The unspeakable war crimes of all these groups circled the globe. Hitler is invoked as the most monstrous person ever to live. But he's a piker compared to the Japanese, who murdered 10 million people in China alone, the Soviet Communists, who murdered 20 million, and the Chinese Communists, who murdered 65 million and counting. And now we are facing more monsters -- Islamo-fascists. We don't lose wars on the battlefield. We lose wars in the homeland, where a bunch of spineless lefties turn a blind eye to human suffering, repression, and dictatorships rather than stand up and destroy the enemy with overwhelming force. We have the weapons to bring any evil regime to its knees in days, but because of liberal sissy boys, we don't use them. I don't mind if they hide under their bed. Not everyone has what it takes to be a hero. But they insist on undermining our war efforts. That goes beyond cowardice. That is sedition and treason.
