pseudo-intellectual 1. One who attempts to flex intellect that does not exist within his or her own mind. 2. Can probably be found with a thesaurus in hand, while in a chat room, looking up new insults that are synonymous with "stupid" in order to boost his or her own undeserved ego.

Lefties tend to choose easy conflicts where the newspapers can give them a clear enemy. African or Asian conflicts are too complex for the general leftie to get upset about. When was the last time a leftie started a thread anywhere on boards about Nigeria, Sudan or Burma? "Choose your battles" indeed...

Illegal Settlements are not the preserve of Isreali Settlers, the comment of "all adults in Illegal Settlements are fair game" is just out and out stupid, there are Illegal Settlers in Ireland who make their home on sides of Roads, are they "Fair Game"... If he said "all adult Isreali Settlers in disputed territory are fair game" it would only be half as stupid thing to say

Rather than protecting their fellow Palestinians or evacuating the areas, Hamas wait for the Israeli strikes with cameras at the ready, so they can put pictures of dying babies on the internet as soon as possible. By all means feel sorry for the average Palestian family living through this but don't let there be any doubt that Hamas are wilfully putting their own into the firing line to exploit the media potential.

Manic Moran wrote: » Perhaps you need to look over the border to some place like Syria to have a frame of reference as to what might happen were a military not to try to reduce casualties. One of the interesting psychological effects of modern war in the West is that people have utterly lost their sense of perspective as to just how much of a meatgrinder a real war is, as we've not had one a no-restraint one in a while. This applies both in terms of national casualties (20 Americans killed in a day is considered a "national disaster, what are we doing in Afghanistan" sort of thing), and third party casualties, such as Palestine.
