After the latest, and maybe largest,
attack on Israel by Palestinian terrorist, Israel began retaliation.
Within little time, democrat activists began protesting Israel and
saying the attacks aren't proportional. This is something the left
has been screaming for the past 70 years. I first noticed it with the
Vietnam war that lasted 20 years. Too often we heard the US was being
too aggressive and often forbidden from attacking North Vietnam. This
has happened all through the Iraq war that lasted, officially 8
years, but it was actually only recently that the US really pulled
out.
This might sound silly, but it was a
Terry Goodkind's novel that woke me up to why these extended wars
happened. The lead female character took over the army that was
facing defeat. She told them to go into the village and kill every
man, woman, and child. Her theory was that the women would produce
future soldiers and the children would grow up to be soldiers.
Although the killing children part was too far for reality, the rest
made sense. Also, women are often directly or indirectly fighting
wars.
