2012: The US announces restrictions on airstrikes against Taliban fighters who hide in residential homes. These attacks take the lives of civilians.
2006: Israel puts its soldiers at risk when attacking Hezbollah terrorists hiding in homes. There are no airstrikes, only on-the-ground combat. These fights take the lives of Israeli soldiers to prevent the soldiers from taking the lives of civilians.
2006? This has been the Palestinian dare, and the Israeli response, in Lebanon for decades. And not only in Lebanon.
2009, Hamas in Gaza: Ditto.
Taliban: Hide in homes, then complain about the civilian casualties. Hezbollah and Palestinian terrorists: Hide in homes, then complain about the civilian casualties.
Let he who lives in a glass house cast the first stone. The US is learning the hard way what Israel faces in fighting enemies without conscience, without humanity, without scruples.
