| Lebanon -- the British view
Speaking on behalf of the United States' main Western ally in the "war against terror", Britain's foreign office minister has just been saying in a BBC television interview that Israeli massive destruction of Lebanese lives and infrastrucure was "hard to understand" (diplomat-speak for totally incomprehensible).
He said that the airstrikes were "not surgical" and that far too many children and other innocents had died.
So, bishop&co, this is Tony Blair's mouthpiece, not the representative of some pansy-pacifist European eunuch-entity.
Your analysis of the thing as being within the bounds of proportionality is increasingly untenable.
