You know, for a long time it's been baffling to us how - no matter how little force Israel uses in self-defense - it's always too much for the Europeans. Usually, Europe can be counted on to just wholesale condemn any Israeli campaigns. But in this case, the justification for Israeli actions is so overwhelmingly obvious that they can't say that Israel isn't allowed to retaliate. So instead they've come up with condemnations for disproportionate force:

So Israel is allowed to retaliate against really obvious, really vicious attacks - but they're not allowed to retaliate so much that they can actually win. But it got us thinking: how much retaliation against Muslim extremists is too much for European nations like France? And then we remembered... oh, that explains it.
Europe: where any force against Muslim extremism is too much force.

UPDATE: Speaking of which, have you noticed that Hezbollah is only really being criticized for kidnapping the two soldiers and not for all of the other things it's doing... like committing acts of war or launching hundreds of rockets into Israeli cities. Sure Europe is saying that it's not nice to launch rockets, but how come that isn't a "disproportionate response" to what's pissing Hezbollah off - all those Israeli civilians' insistence on just being so damn Jewish.
