So because someone flew over your house and dropped a brochure onto your front lawn, it is now a justified target? Are you saying that if a bunch of Quebecers captured an American soldier, you would gladly move out of your house and leave all your possesions and start walking to Edmonton if you found a leaflet on your porch stating that a possible quebecer was living in your area?
I am not too sure how citizins are supposed to know that airports, highways, and powerplants are Hezbollah strongholds.
In my opinion, I find the leaflets insulting. The whole, "I warned I was going to bomb, it is your fault you died" mentality is just not right to me.
The irony of the whole thing is that you have one side who is trying as hard as possible to hit any target(civilian or not) and is doing a really poor job at it, and you have the other side who is trying
not to hit any civilians and they also are doing a really poor job at it.
