I find it utterly obscene that bombs – which are neither smart nor directed – are dropped and kill civilians by the hundred, while those civilians are told they are being liberated and are expected to garland and welcome as liberators those who have come to kill them and devastate their lives. The reason I make this point is that they may win this battle – for that is all it is – but there is no way they can win this war. That is because it extends way beyond the end of the present hostilities and there is no way there can ever be understanding between the people and those who have done this to them.
