Hard Fact

In the comments to his most recent post describing his visit to a Hezbollah tent city, Michael Totten lays out a hard fact that many liberals and genteel folks don’t (or won’t) recognize.

Sometimes you just have to shoot people.

Unfortunately, the inability to admit this fact leads to greater problems. You can't really have discussions or negotiate with people who want to kill you. It's a waste of time and gets you nowhere.
