the predictability and easy with which west european intellectualism is 
capable to separate good from evil, and the absolute infallibility with 
which it is identifies victim and perpetrator never ceases to amaze me.

true, hezbollah will never stop firing rockets at isreali villages and 
schools using the civilian population of neighboring sovereign 
countries as hostage and human shield because of some online petition.
but if you're so much against war as such, a petition that identifies 
both hezbollah's and isreal's actions as the cause of the war would at 
least pretend to cover up any alternative political agenda's that those 
who drafted the petition might have had.
