I remember in the wake of 9/11 hearing plenty of people call for flattening Afghanistan, even turning the whole Middle East intop a parking lot. I didn’t take them literally then. I understand that Sharon wants payback, and the victims of that payback don’t have to be complicit. But I just can’t make that leap in my understanding of his piece. I don’t see him advocating going Slobodan Milosevic on their asses.
