Is Israel really any safer after using an airstrike to kill a quadriplegic old man, who was being pushed out of a mosque in his wheelchair when the missile hit?

I don't think so. If only because those are the terms in which most of the world's going to view it - and certainly most of the middle east. It seems like a deliberate attempt to pour petrol on the flames.

Yes, he was a hateful old bastard who was in favour of terrorism and spoke against the peace process (and the existence of Israel itself). But I still don't see how this helps. The damage he did was done with words, and his words didn't die with him. If anything, they've now gained weight.

Wolverhampton. Friday April 2nd. All About Eve + Swarf. So, who's going?

Two damn good bands, and both have crossover appeal as well as talent.
(translation: you don't have to be a goth to like 'em)

If anyone further afield is interested, I can probably provide some crashspace, too.
