I was gobsmacked at the reactions of some of those who were rescued from Lebanon... Fucking ingrates!

a)The government is not obligated to rescue you.
b) Given a, take what you can get.

Of course, it is going to uncomfortable. What were you expecting -- the love boat?

The more are read about this and think about it... I have had the reverse reaction to Pery's OP. Harper has been quite assertive in his stance. Hezbollah is in the wrong. There is no grey on that issue.

Has Israel's response been "measured" perhaps, perhaps not.

Harper has taken a stand against agression by a force that crossed the line. His words to Israel were that they should take all steps to limit civilian casualties.

Perhaps he should be calling for a "cease fire" as well. I am not convinced that Hezbollah wants this.
