What exactly, then, was the shelling of Beirut?  (or the air attacks on
terrorists that just happen to be in civilian villages).  Regardless of the
rightness or wrongness of this particular action, it was the attacking of
random civilians.  It probably wasn't the intention of the Israelis to
kill innocent bystanders, but that's pretty poor consolation to the
ones that are dead.

You aren't going to do any cause any good by asserting something that is 
clearly wrong.

It's a damn shame that both the US and Israel (and to a certain extent,
Great Britain) were so heavy handed and indiscriminate (eg: the American
shelling of the Beirut area) in their intervention in Lebanon.
