From an Associated Press article about the current crisis in Lebanon:

Olmert welcomed Rice warmly and vowed that "Israel is determined to carry on this fight against Hezbollah." He said his government "will not hesitate to take severe measures against those who are aiming thousands of rockets and missiles against innocent civilians for the sole purpose of killing them."

And I thought... "So Olmert's okay with aiming thousands of rockets and missiles against innocent civilians as long as there's some purpose *other* than killing them?"

And then I thought, "oh, right. Us."
