The PLO is bayonetting Belgian babies straight through their mothers' stomachs, and roasting them over open campfires?
Better send in Blackjack Pershing and the AEF to make the world safe for democracy . . . land . . . peace . . . and bread while we're at it.
Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead.
After all . . .
We'll meet again . . .

While I acknowledge the asymmetry, I still think the best comment on it was this:
"The hostilities between Israel and Hamas this week are just another sad exchange of munitions of no benefit for anyone, least of all the impoverished residents of Gaza. Rockets go one way, Hellfire missiles go the other. Targeted killing, random strikes, claim and counter claim of who is a terrorist and who is acting in self defence.
Of far more novelty though is the Twitter war that broke out between the Israel Defense Forces and their opponents. Taking their fight to the micro-blogging world, the Israeli military and the al-Qassam Brigades resembled nothing more than two drunk blokes at a football barbecue “sword fighting” with their streams of urine."
