There is an admirably restrained and yet distorted balance in your article, in my opinion, though to be expected as the situation is similar. However, the opening statement suggesting that the current conflict is the 'first ever war where logic and reason' are discarded or lacking is misguided.

A few torpedoes in the Gulf of Tonkin launched the deaths of 2 million+ in the Vietnam War along with countless numbers of disfigurements from chemical weapons used by America on civilians. The logic or reasoning to fly across the globe and attack a small nation?

The attacks by a terrorist group during 9/11 instigated enormous military movements and brutality against Iraq in retribution under the guise of supposed 'Weapons of Mass Destruction.' Where were those weapons?

No war is initiated without a plethora of agendas whether they be; historical, emotional, religious, or most often -- economically motivated.

There is no parameter of justification to quantify 'enough is enough' , an eye for an eye, 10,000 eyes for an eye, or Hiroshima / Nagasaki/ Tokyo fire bombing 300,000 civilian eyes for 2,000 servicemen... etc.

Pick your war... they are everywhere.

There is no justification nor reasoning that will negate the attacks by Hamas, nor the ensuing retribution by Israel, so long as agendas are subjugated to the power hungry political groups of our times.

We are all victims of the dictates of the political, economic, and religious machinations of those motivated by a thirst for power.

That thirst dismisses all forms of reason as innocents, women, and children die and are left traumatized.

Where is the dignity in that?
