Patrick Buchanan sends a little love our way

A recent opinion essay from Pat Buchanan has the charming title "Israel is Playing Us for Fools." It is essentially one long expression of anger at Israel with almost no attempt to analyze the military situation. Here is a typical passage:
Within 48 hours, it was apparent Israel was exploiting Hezbollah's attack to execute a preconceived military plan to destroy Lebanon -- i.e, the collective punishment of a people and nation for the crimes of a renegade militia they could not control. It was the moral equivalent of a municipal police going berserk, shooting, killing and ravaging an African-American community, because Black Panthers had ambushed and killed cops.
How about a Canadian Black Panthers which is included in the Canadian government, which controls the southern area bordering the US, which is launching military raids into the US, and which has long-range missiles supplied by Iran? Or why don't we just stick to talking about Hizbullah, Pat?
