The Beavis and Butthead Model for Understanding The Middle East


I can't find the exact citation, but there is a line attributed to Beavis and Butthead that goes something like, "Just because one thing sucks doesn't mean that something else doesn't suck." And that, more or less is where we have ended up in the Middle East. Just because Hizbullah rocket attacks and kidnappings suck, doesn't mean that the IDF's arbitrary bombing of Lebanon doesn't suck, and vice versa. This is the simplest and clearest way that I have found to articulate how I feel about this whole thing.
