Israeli Ambassador Says Louise Arbour Doesn't Get It

The United State invaded Granada <br />

in response to Cuban "interference" and a perceived threat to US security in 1983. Grenada could not hope to offer up any resistance against a world superpower, and besides, if Cuba was behind it, the US should have invaded that pissant country (go to the source). Except that "pissant country" could bite back.<br />
<br />
Likewise, Israel chose to bomb one of the most liberal and progressive Arab countries back to the stone age, when Israeli intelligence KNEW that hezbolah had accumulated some 15,000 rockets.....13,000 from Iran, and 2,000 from Syria. Now why didn't this "regional superpower" go right to the source of these rockets (the rockets factories in Iran and Syria) with their "smart bombs" (courtesy of their ally and backer, the United States) instead of destroying one of the least threatening countries in the whole of the Middle East. Could it be because lebanon could not bite back, whereas Iran would?<br />

Is the appellation "superpower" just another way of saying "bully" (if not "coward")?<p>---<br>"We can have a democracy or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few. We cannot have both."<br />
