So you also believe "even-handed condemnation" of the Serbian forces and the KLA is in order in Kosovo?
And you think US/NATO military "intervention" in Israel - which is, of course, VITALLY URGENT since PEOPLE ARE DYING and SOMETHING MUST BE DONE NOW! - would be "more moral than its absence" on the grounds that Ariel Sharon is "acting immorally"?
