The Kind of Force that Makes Sense? (Nadelhoffer)

After dismissing a cease-fire in Lebanon yesterday as a "false promise," Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice suggested that, "we are looking at what kind of international assistance force makes sense" (see here). Well, we can quit holding our collective breath--it is now clear what kind of 'force' we have in mind (namely, precision-guided missiles).  See here for details.  The only thing more predictable than American and Israeli war-mongering is the backlash it creates.  When will the world learn that "peace" and "missiles" don't go hand-in-hand?
