I wasn't trying to bust your chops for poor grammar. I was suggesting that you -- and Hank, if I recall correctly -- were using double negatives rather than make simple declarative statements about why Lebanese citizens had it coming to them. The fuzziness was sympomatic.

“Deserve” is your word not mine, please cease and desist from trying to pin it on me. My posit is that at a certain point, the civilian support of the terrorists and Syria causes them to lose an innocent civilian objection and gives credibility to Israel’s strategy of destroying non-military infrastructure.

You've said things that make it sound like you think Lebanese citizens are getting what the deserve -- e.g., what you say right here, after trying get away from the word "deserve" -- but you don't want to say it. It's all well and good to support Israel's right to drop bombs just so long as you don't have to think about where they land?

I am not sure I understand this? Who is responsible for the destruction of the Lebanese state? Over the long haul isn’t due to internal strife that was then seized upon as an opportuntity by outside agents?

The Lebanese state has rarely functioned as such. Which makes it hard -- in my view, if not yours -- to think that the Lebanese deserve -- oops, there's that word again -- what they're getting for its failures.
