It's how cowards fight a war. Sneak attack, kidnap innocent women and children, then behead them. Fire off a few rockets, then hide in underground tunnels while the civilian enabler population takes the brunt of the retaliatory strikes or they sneak off to Syria, Lebanon, or Iran.

Again I am reminded of my father's discussion with my two older brothers (about 11 and 9 years old) concerning why they had been fist-fighting.

The younger proclaimed stoutly. "Dad, it all started when he hit me back."

you having troubles right now?

You'd think, maybe, but its not like the retaliation and outrage over the death of human shields was unexpected or part of the plan.

Another lesson: don’t film your crimes and post them online for the world to see.

Solid advice, js
