Open Mouth, Insert Bolton:

Lebanon civilian deaths morally not same as terror victims — Bolton - Yahoo! News

“It’s simply not the same thing to say that it’s the same act to deliberately target innocent civilians, to desire their deaths, to fire rockets and use explosive devices or kidnapping versus the sad and highly unfortunate consequences of self-defense,” Bolton noted.

Oh, thank goodness we have such thoughtful, intelligent people in the service of representing the United States around the world. Otherwise, people might get the wrong impression about us.

I would love for someone to please ask John Bolton (remember, now: not approved even by a Republican Congress and needing to be shuffled into the office in the dead of night) to please expound at length for us all to explain exactly what the rules of “moral equivalence” are concerning the manufacture of corpses.  I think it probably repetative to state that people who didn’t do anything wrong don’t deserve to die, regardless of how that happened, but for some reason there are people who still need to learn that.  Worse, those people deposit thier ignorance all over our American reputation, providing ever more fuel for Islamic extremist’s rhetoric against us.

So, in addition to wanting a new White House Spokesman, I would also like to look into getting a new UN Ambassador.  Ooh!  And a spiffy new President who actually thinks once in a while, reads polls (like it or not, Mr. President, you got elected in a poll) and governs wisely.  Oh yeah!  And how about a new Secretary of State who is capable of evacuating American citizens from a war zone?  Yeah, it’s like Katrina with bombs.
