My main contention, on the other hand, is more about the general state of the Israeli government's asymmetrical offense-as-defense strategy and how that plays into Israel having nuclear weapons. While I'll be glad to talk your ear off about Palestine and Lebanon in order to frame that strategy, my contention is less about politics and more about military strategy. It's not that roach and I disagree on the issue, we're just coming at it from different angles.
