Oh, He Was In A Wheelchair - Oh, Our Bad

And while I'm on the subject of all the people that are pissed off that Israel took out a man who's sole goal in life was to plan and coordinate the murder of Israeli civilians, the fact that the Muslim world is so "furious" isn't really Israel's bad. I mean, a guy named the Preacher of Death (to be distinguished from the Doctor of Death, Abd al-Aziz Rantisi, who has also just been put on notice that his days are numbered) would hardly be a hero in a normal, healthy society.
Speaking of which, this interview with Rahman is now getting absurd. He keeps repeating that a man in a wheelchair can't possibly be a threat to the "biggest military in the Middle East." The whole point of having a powerful military is that you're able to eliminate threats to your state - and Yassin was clearly a threat. You can criticize Israel for using a military option, but you can't then turn around and say that Israel has nothing to fear because it can always use a military option. I'm not asking for agreement, just a little consistency.
Finally, lets not hear any more outrage about how this guy was in a wheelchair. The Palestinians clearly have no problem with killing people in wheelchairs. They only seem to have a problem with killing Jew-murderers in wheelchairs.
