The U.S. should not condemn Israel's actions in the Middle East. Quite the contrary, we should congratulate Israel for their moral strength.

In Lebanon, terrorists conspire to destroy Israel. They use Lebanese infrastructure to launch their attacks on Israel. That infrastructure must be destroyed in the name of protecting Israeli life and Israeli existence. The Lebanese government is not "controlling violence" because it has failed to stop the emergence of a vicious terrorist organization called Hezbollah.

The failure to stop Hezbollah is coming home to roost for the Lebanese government and the Lebanese people. It is the responsibility of that government to rid Lebanon of terrorists. But it has not, and now its people are paying the price. Any bloodshed caused by Israeli bombs is on the hands of the Lebanese government, Hezbollah and the sponsors of Hezbollah in Syria.

Israel's moral and justified actions are a lesson for the United States and the world to follow when assessing the merits of its appeasement of the worldwide number one state sponsor of terrorism, the Islamic Republic of Iran. Take it to them, Israel.
