On Larry King last night...

It was James Zogby and Alan Dershowitz on the war in Lebanon. Zogby is one of the few voices of morality we're hearing on the subject:

"ZOGBY: Day after day after day where Israel continues to say “We intended to hit and we missed” the fact is, is that at some point you have to hold yourself to a moral standard. Those are the rules after World War II that we actually imposed on ourselves and on others.

"If this is the new kind of war you talk about, if this is the war for a new democracy and a new generation in the world, we ought to be setting a higher standard, not returning to the law of the jungle.

"The fact is, is that if we are to hold ourselves to this higher standard and say 'We want you to be like us,' then what lesson are we teaching the world? We’re teaching the world that the law of the terrorists is the law we’ll use is that we will hit civilians with impunity and frankly you will like it or you — we don’t care if you don’t like it because you’re going to pay the price anyway. That is disgusting and I think most people share my outrage that you would make that argument."
